About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) regarding a proposed modification to Contract No. W9127N23C0022 for Bonneville Dam Digital Governors. This special notice, posted on October 20, 2025, announces the agency's intention to modify an existing firm-fixed-price supply contract using non-competitive procedures. The modification will be awarded to the current contractor, Emerson Process Management Power & Water Solutions, Inc., a large business entity. This NOI is being published in accordance with FAR requirements to provide transparency and meet mandatory synopsis obligations before the contract modification is finalized. The posting establishes a comment period ending November 4, 2025, for interested parties to review the proposed action.

The modification seeks to extend the Period of Performance for various contract line items while simultaneously changing the scope of work to include Gate Distributing Valve Controller Machining, Cap Fabrication, O-ring groove machining, and Distributing Valve Measurements for the digital governors being supplied. The primary rationale for sole-source award is that the existing governors contain proprietary software and customization specifically integrated into Bonneville Dam's Powerhouse 2 systems, making Emerson the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirements without substantial cost duplication to the government. The statutory authority for this non-competitive procurement derives from 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which permit sole-source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested contractors may submit written objections or inquiries during the comment period. The contract falls under NAICS code 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing) and PSC code K059 (Modification of Equipment—Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components).
