This is a Sources Sought announcement issued by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Lower Colorado Dams Office (LCDO) for acquisition planning purposes. The USBR seeks to identify qualified contractors/vendors capable of providing onsite calibration services for mechanical, electrical, and electronic tools and equipment on an annual basis. The work will be performed during summer 2026 at two locations: Hoover Dam (approximately 5 days) and Parker Dam (approximately 1 day). Services must be delivered via a self-contained mobile laboratory staffed with qualified technicians at times specified by the government. The equipment to be calibrated includes approximately 34 items such as portable radio test sets, digital oscilloscopes, fiber optical power meters, multimeters, current transformers, pressure gauges, micrometers, and various communication and transmission test equipment.

Interested firms of all sizes are invited to submit capability statements by 15:00 Pacific Time on March 20, 2026, to gilbert_mincey@ios.doi.gov or luis_gallardo@ios.doi.gov with reference number 140R3026Q0043 in the subject line. Submissions must include firm name and address, phone number, email address, Unique Entity ID Number, size status and SBA certifications, and a capability statement not exceeding 5 pages demonstrating experience with similar procurements and providing references with points of contact. The applicable NAICS code is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a small business size standard of $34,000,000. The government does not intend to award a contract based on this notice or pay for information solicited; responses will be used to determine appropriate procurement strategy and whether a set-aside is warranted. Future formal solicitation notices will be posted on sam.gov.
