About this file
This is Amendment No. 0002 to Solicitation 140R6026Q0112 issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Missouri Basin Regional Office. The amendment extends the proposal deadline from August 21, 2026, 11:00 AM MDT to August 26, 2026, 11:00 AM MDT. The primary purpose of this amendment is to issue answers to questions posed by offerors since the first Q&A amendment.
The Q&A responses clarify the technical requirements for Siemens PLC engineering software and related equipment. The government's system utilizes both S7-300 and S7-400 CPU models, specifically CPU 414-2 (6ESY 414-2XG03-0AB0) and CPU 318-2 (318-2AJ00-0AB0). The requirement covers software licenses and USB/Serial adapters only, with no programming hardware included. The government requires STEP 7 Version 5.6 licenses (needing a second license) and also has TIA Portal capability. The software must support troubleshooting, program modification, and program upload/download functions. Communication interfaces include MPI (primary), PROFIBUS, and Ethernet connectivity. The system also utilizes communication processors CP 343 (6GK7 343-1EX10-0XE0) and CP 443-1 (6GK7 443-1EX11-0XE0). The government currently holds licenses for Siemens Step 7 Professional, Simatic CFC, Softnet-IE, and a PC Adapter (Serial to USB), and seeks additional licenses for each to install on a second backup laptop. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the extended deadline.

Solicitation 140R6026Q0112 Amendment No. 0002 SF-30 Continuation Pgs
QUESTION: CPU identification. Please provide the Siemens PLC CPU order number (MLFB) and product family for the target system:
• S7-300
• S7-400
• S7-1200
• S7-1500
• Other (please specify)
ANSWER: Our system utilizes both the S7-300 and S7-400.
QUESTION: Nameplate data. If permitted, a photograph of the CPU nameplate showing the
Siemens MLFB and firmware version. If imagery is restricted, a transcription of the MLFB and firmware revision from the equipment inventory or O&M records is sufficient.
ANSWER: Each system has (Qty 2) CPU 414-2 (6ESY 414-2XG03-0AB0) and a CPU 318-2 (318-
2AJ00-0AB0).
QUESTION: Prior engineering software. Which programming environment was previously in use?
• STEP 7 Classic (V5.x)
• TIA Portal
• PCS 7
• Unknown
ANSWER: We need a license for STEP 7 Version 5.6 (we currently have one in use, need a second license). Our CPUs are too old for anything newer than this version. We also have TIA Portal on our current license.
QUESTION: Scope of supply. Does the requirement cover the engineering software license only, or does it also include programming hardware — programming device/laptop, communication adapter (e.g., PC Adapter USB A2, CP 5711), and connecting cables?
ANSWER: We only require software licenses and USB/Serial Adapter as outlined in the solicitation.
Solicitation 140R6026Q0112 Amendment No. 0002 SF-30 Continuation Pgs
QUESTION: Communication interface. Which interface is available on the CPU for connection to the engineering station?
• MPI
• PROFIBUS
• PROFINET / Ethernet
• Other (please specify)
ANSWER: We primarily connect via MPI, but our system utilizes Profibus and Ethernet as well.
QUESTION: Operational objective. What is the intended use of the software?
• Online troubleshooting/diagnostics only
• Program backup and upload
• Program modification and download
• Full PLC replacement or migration
ANSWER: Software needs to be able to troubleshoot, modify the program, load the program onto the CPU including uploads or downloads.
QUESTION: Existing license data. Any available license information from the prior engineering station — license number, Certificate of License, Automation License Manager screenshot, or software version record — to determine whether an upgrade, competitive upgrade, or new full license is the appropriate and lowest-cost path.
ANSWER: We currently have the following licenses purchased. We would like an additional license for each of these to install on a second backup laptop.
Siemens Step 7 Professional, License Only, p/n 6ES76581EX780HY5
Siemens Simatic CFC, License Only, p/n 6ES76581EX780YH5
Siemens Softnet-IE, License Only, p/n 6GK17041CW250AK0
Siemens, PC Adapter, Serial to USB, p/n 6GK15710BA000AA0
QUESTION: System configuration. If permitted, a photograph or description of the PLC rack/cabinet configuration, including any communication processors (CP), interface modules
(IM), or distributed I/O present.
ANSWER: With the above system CPUs, we also utilize a Comm Card CP 343 (6GK7 343-1EX10-
0XE0) and CP 443-1 (6GK7 443-1EX11-0XE0).
