About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District is conducting a Sources Sought notice for the procurement of a Cole River Substation, which includes a dry type station service transformer and 480 volt switchgear. The agency is seeking manufacturers capable of designing, assembling, testing, and potentially installing an electrical substation for the Cole M. Rivers Fish Hatchery in Trail, Oregon. Key contract requirements include producing a 2000kVA, 3-phase transformer with specific voltage and wiring configurations, using government-provided specifications as design guidelines, and requiring final government approval before manufacturing. Interested firms must submit capabilities statements demonstrating their technical competence, addressing specific questions about warranty, project classification, and installation considerations. Responses are due by June 3, 2025, at 0900 PST, and must include company details such as CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier, contact information, business size, and years of relevant experience.
The Sources Sought notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified businesses. While no specific award value is mentioned, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the electrical equipment suggest a significant potential contract value. The substation will be delivered to 200 Cole M. Rivers Dr, Trail, OR 97541, with potential for shipping in multiple sections due to highway transportation restrictions. Manufacturers are expected to minimize on-site assembly and follow precise technical specifications outlined in the accompanying product description document. The NAICS code 335311 for Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing indicates the targeted industry segment, and all potential offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The notice explicitly states this is a market research effort and not a binding solicitation, with no funds available for response preparation.

This requirement is for a Cole M. Rivers Fish Hatchery electrical substation that will need to be designed, assembled, tested, and delivered; installation on site may be optional. The substation manufacturer is to use government provided specifications as a guideline to complete their design, assembly and testing. The final design is to be approved by the Government prior to any manufacturing. The Government realizes that it may have to be shipped in sections because of size and restrictions on the Oregon highway systems using standard trucking. The substation manufacturer is to minimize the amount of assembly at the site.

Dry type station service transformer 13.8kV to 480 volt - The transformer is to be rated 2000kVA, 3-phase, 60-Hz, 13,800-480/277 volts, and the windings are to be connected delta-wye.
480 Volt Switchgear
Medium Voltage, Metal Enclosed Switch Breakers
Location of Services.
The requested substation is to be delivered to 200 Cole M Rivers Dr, Trail, OR 97541
Capabilities Statement
Please submit capabilities statements demonstrating the capability to meet the above general requirements. Also, provide feedback on 1) if the install is delayed, how would that affect warranty on the equipment as it would be stored outside until installed, 2) from the view of industry, would this project be considered a supply project with the install being incidental or a full construction requirement, and 3) any other considerations USACE should take into account regarding this substation acquisition.
