About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) to procure Travis Pattern brand swage compression fittings for transmission conductor hardware under simplified acquisition procedures. The justification outlines three main rationales for limiting competition: WAPA already maintains the specific tooling and dies required for installing Travis Pattern fittings, Travis Pattern connectors have proven successful performance history in SDMO substations and match existing installations, and the exact length requirements are critical for proper fit.
The related solicitation (89503425QWA001007) is a 100% small business set-aside for Travis Pattern/DMC hardware to be delivered to Huron, SD with FOB Destination terms. The Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration is the contracting agency, and quotes may be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, M Kris Pfeifle. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed-price award, and vendors must include delivery lead times for all contract line items.

25WA155133
1. Identification of the agency and the contracting office.
Department of Energy, WAPA, Upper Great Plains
2. Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.
Brand name sole source for swage compression fittings from Travis Pattern Foundry brand transmission conductor hardware to result in a firm fixed-price award.
3. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition.
- Travis Pattern compression fittings: Compression type deadends for electrical conductor require specific tooling and dies. Western maintains the equipment required for installing Travis Pattern brand fittings.
- Travis Pattern connectors have past proven positive experience in SDMO substations and match existing installations on SDMO lines. Maintaining identical hardware maximizes efficiency by:
reducing required inventory and warehouse space, reducing required knowledge of various product components and manuals, streamlining substation connectors at a fraction of the cost of other vendors.
- The Travis Pattern connector hardware required to ensure a proper fit where exact length is critical.
