THIS STRATEGY AIMS TO IDENTIFY A CONTRACTOR CAPABLE OF PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR BACKUP GENERATION SYSTEMS AT THE LAREDO POINT OF ENTRY IN LAREDO, TEXAS.

· Identification and determination of equipment needed for load analysis of backup power generation.

· Evaluation of power conditioning capabilities.

· Integration of transfer switches for controlled backup power management.

The nature of the competition remains undecided; options include full and open competition or potential set-asides for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or 8(a) certified firms. This survey will assess the level of interest and capability among eligible firms.
