Building 299 zone 8 bus duct relocations

Rock Island Arsenal, operating under the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command, is conducting market research to identify qualified electrical contractors capable of relocating three bus ducts and associated electrical infrastructure within Building 299 Zone 8. The primary scope involves relocating a 1,200-amp Square D I-Line bus approximately 300 feet with extension and multiple bus plug configurations, plus two 800-amp Siemens Spectra series buses requiring relocation of 110 feet each with similar plug requirements. Contractors must possess the capability to provide all necessary materials, labor, supervision, site inspections, and installation services while adhering to national electrical codes, OSHA standards, and Rock Island Arsenal security requirements. The evaluation will assess vendor qualifications based on submitted capability statements, business size, and CAGE registration. Interested vendors must submit their name, CAGE number, business size designation, and capability statement by the March 18, 2026 deadline; this is currently a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes with no formal solicitation having been issued.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and includes no identified incumbent contractors or specific award value information at this pre-solicitation stage. The project encompasses the relocation of conduits and communication cables to positions near building roof trusses across multiple bay areas, with all installation work required during designated service hours of 0600-1530, Monday through Thursday, excluding government holidays. All contractor personnel must obtain background checks, security clearances, Anti-Terrorism Level I training, and iWatch training prior to accessing the Army installation. The work includes comprehensive material procurement, performance testing, final government inspection, and complete documentation delivery upon completion. While no budget range has been disclosed in this market research phase, the scope's complexity and scale suggest a substantial contract value, though formal pricing details will likely emerge once the formal solicitation is released following this market research period.
