About this file
This is a Statement of Work for electrical rerouting services at the USDA's Phoenix Rearing Facility (PRF), a specialized insect rearing operation supporting the Sterile Insect Technique pest control program. The PRF requires a licensed electrician to remove two 2-inch rigid conduits currently creating a tripping hazard in the kitchen area and reroute them overhead to the mixing blender equipment. The work involves relocating 240-volt 3-phase supply power conduit from a breaker panel located in an adjacent room through a wall and approximately 10 feet of control wire conduit from an existing control panel. The contractor must use rigid conduit with sealed connections to prevent electrical arcing in an environment containing fine dust particles from wheat and soy that pose fire hazards.
The technical requirements mandate that the contractor provide all materials and certified professional electricians, ensure all work complies with electrical code, properly breaker the supply amperage, rewire control wires without splicing, test all new electrical lines and conduit for damage, backfill and seal floor holes where conduits are removed, and secure all overhead conduits. The contractor is responsible for providing all equipment and lifts needed and must remediate any collateral damage to walls, ceilings, piping, or equipment caused during execution. Work completion and testing must be accomplished within four weeks of contract award. This solicitation is set aside 100 percent for Small Business with a magnitude under $25,000, NAICS code 238210. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 23, 2026 at 10:00 AM at 3645 E. Chipman Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85040. Questions must be submitted by 12:00 PM Central Time on July 29, 2026, and offers are due by 12:00 PM Central Time on August 12, 2026, both via email to the Contract Specialist Erick Plamann.

Statement Of Work Rerouting Electrical Conduits in Kitchen
A) Introduction Here at the Phoenix Rearing Facility (PRF) we specialize in the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). We work with farmers to reduce the number of insects that damage their crops by using SIT. The PRF is one component in multi-faceted areawide pest control project dedicated to reducing the impact of Navel Orangeworm on American agriculture.
B) Background and Justification USDA PRF has been in its current location since 1992. The building covers 69,00 square feet. Our kitchen area is where we cook diet for the insects using an extruder. There is also a mixing blender that is used to mix dry ingredients such as wheat, soy and sugar. The mixing blender has a control panel that has around 16 control wires running in a 2” rigid conduit. It also has supply voltage of 240 volts 3 phase power coming in another 2 “rigid conduit. Both of these 2” rigid conduit come out of the ground in between the extruder and the mixing blender causing a major tripping hazard.
We are requesting that the 2” conduits be rerouted overhead to remove the tripping hazard. There is plenty of space overhead for the conduits to be rerouted. After supply power and control wires are rerouted overhead, we would like to have the 2” conduits be removed and floor sealed where the conduits are coming out of.
C) Scope of Work The PRF would like to have a licensed electrician remove the 2” conduit tripping hazard and reroute the supply power and control wires overhead to the mixing blender. The breaker panel for the 240-volt 3 phase supply power is located in the next room where the electrician will have to run new conduit through a wall to the mixing blender. The control wire panel is located within 10 feet from the mixing blender. We prefer that the electrician uses rigid conduit and seals all connections to prevent electrical arching. We do have fine dust particles from wheat and soy which can become highly flammable. The kitchen possesses a dust collecting system which gathers most of the dust particles.
