About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District published a Limited Source Justification Notice for the procurement of a critical DC backup battery system replacement at the Cheatham Powerhouse. The contract was awarded to PWR Storage Solutions LLC on August 26, 2025, for a 60-cell battery backup system that provides DC power to mission-critical control systems, along with an accessory kit, installation, and supporting documentation. The sole source justification was based on urgent operational needs due to imminent battery failure risks that pose life safety hazards through hydrogen emissions and potential catastrophic infrastructure damage to the hydroelectric facility. Market research conducted through the Small Business Administration and Corps of Engineers contract vehicles identified PWR Storage Solutions LLC as the only contractor with the required technical capabilities, having performed similar specialized work at Cheatham Powerhouse since 2003. The project has an estimated lead time of 15 weeks with total duration not expected to exceed 135 calendar days, though the specific contract value was not disclosed in the notice. The procurement will be funded through Operations & Maintenance, Army funds for Fiscal Year 2025 using a fixed-price contract structure.
