This Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports a procurement for Square D brand Electrical Panels and Breakers for the Bartlett Hall 4th Floor Conversion, Courtyard Wall & Roof Repair project at the United States Military Academy (USMA) in West Point, NY. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New York District is the contracting activity, seeking to procure these specific electrical components due to compatibility and consistency requirements with the existing electrical system at Bartlett Hall.

The procurement is being conducted as a design-build solicitation with a new firm-fixed-price (FFP) construction contract.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) was published on 27 August 2025 to determine sources, with no responses received. The solicitation will be synopsized in accordance with FAR Part 15, and the project is funded through FY25 Facilities Operations and Maintenance appropriations.
