About this file

This document contains a sole source justification and a related federal contract opportunity notice. The sole source justification is for the acquisition of Itron Centron Polyphase electric meters with radio frequency capability from Itron. The meters are needed to replace existing meters and support the base's future energy data collection system. Only Itron meters will interface with the system due to compatibility with communications standards and protocols. Base staff are trained on Itron equipment and parts are interchangeable. The opportunity notice is for repair work on a medium voltage junction box and seeks bids from small businesses by a specified due date. The project value is estimated between $250,000 to $500,000, and funds are expected but not yet available through September 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

Model G981682 Itron Centron Polyphase electric meter (with RF) - ITRON CP3 9S CL20 3 ERT DEMAND+ CLOCK

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED:

The Itron Centron Polyphase electric meter (with RF) - ITRON CP3 9S CL20 3 ERT DEMAND+ CLOCK is the new Selfridge Design Standards approved electric meter. This Itron model electric meter is a direct replacement to the previous Itron electric meter and is approved by Selfridge Communications for radio frequency range. The Itron Centron Polyphase electric meter (with RF) - ITRON CP3 9S CL20 3 ERT DEMAND+ CLOCK will be part of the future energy data collection system.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND DETAILED

DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH PERFORMED:

Selfridge has previously purchased ITRON CP3 9S CL20 3 ERT DEMAND+ CLOCK units and maintenance personnel are trained on related operation and maintenance of this unit and there is substantial parts compatibility for emergent repairs. This meter must be used for proper communication and supporting the energy data collection system.

The unit has undergone technical scrutiny by the 127 Communications Squadron and its radio frequency is compatible with current base missions.

The 127 Communication Squadron can realistically provide only 1 radio frequency for this application due to security and operational constraints.
