About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Walla Walla District issued a Class Justification and Approval on April 29, 2026, authorizing brand-name procurement of Baldor-Reliance underwater electric motors for hydroelectric turbine fish screen operations across the Walla Walla and Portland Districts through May 1, 2031. These specialized 5 HP, 180TY frame motors (Spec S18-CWS0-0009) feature proprietary C-faced mounting interfaces, water leak detection systems, and custom socket assemblies that are uniquely compatible with Baldor's pre-formed cable assemblies and gearboxes, with no viable alternatives available due to intellectual property protections and two decades of standardization across 300+ screens. The justification supports replacement and spare parts procurement for 153 hydroelectric turbines that operate fish screen cleaning mechanisms required under NOAA's Columbia River System Operations Biological Opinion, addressing critical juvenile salmon diversion requirements. While the awarded vendor information remains unspecified, historical procurement data from eight competitive small business set-aside contracts between 2020 and 2025 demonstrates contract values ranging from $25.8K to $60.9K per solicitation, with subsequent future solicitations to be published as small business set-asides on SAM.GOV. This Class J&A enables streamlined acquisition of these mission-critical components without requiring individual justifications for each contract during the five-year authorization period.
