About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details a contract for the United States Army Power Production School (USAPPS) to acquire specialized electrical testing equipment for training Army Soldiers and Navy Seabees in utility-grade power systems. The procurement includes two each of three specific items: VT33 Cable Fault Locators (Thumpers), TDR1670 test devices, and SDAD Super Directional Acoustic Detectors. The equipment will enable students to safely train on identifying, locating, and diagnosing underground cable faults using industry-standard testing methods that meet NETA MTS standards.
The detailed technical specifications outline specific requirements for each device, including voltage ranges, input/output specifications, and operational modes. The delivery schedule mandates that all equipment must be shipped within 90 days of contract award to USAPPS at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, with the delivery address specifically marked to the attention of Jay Kaufman, a Supervisory Equipment Specialist. The SOW emphasizes that these training tools are critical for preparing military personnel to operate effectively in complex technical environments related to power distribution and maintenance.

Statement of Work
High Voltage Inc (HVI) VT33 with TDR1670 and SDAD
Background: The USAPPS provides industry standard technical training to Army Soldiers and Navy Seabees, enabling their ability to install, maintain, and operate utility-grade power production and distribution systems in support of unified land operations and humanitarian support missions worldwide. The USAPPS trains active duty and reserve service members in the troubleshooting, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of low-to-medium voltage power and distribution systems in support of the USAPPS mission. This mission-focused training prepares Soldiers and Sailors to be safe, productive, and efficient technical specialists in a complex and dynamic operating environment.
Scope: USAPPS requires testing equipment which meets industry and testing standards to train students on safe operating procedures in a laboratory environment before using the equipment in a field setting. The system is all paired together. It allows us to identify underground faults and locate them easily. It allows us to train students to find faults and locate them. The NETA MTS requires testing of Shielded Cables, Medium- and High-Voltage using Very low frequency (VLF) dielectric withstand test – minimum 30-minute test on individual or grouped conductors with all shields and all conductors not under test grounded. The system meets the requirement of the NETA MTS standard for testing underground cables.
Deliverables and Technical Specifications: The contractor shall supply two (2) VT33 Cable Fault Locators, two (2) TDR 1670s, and two (2) SDADs. Each piece of equipment shall meet the following specifications:
