E27 ldca component replacement

The Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Colorado Region is seeking sole-source procurement of replacement components for the Laguna Division Conservation Area (LDCA) headworks water delivery system in Yuma County, Arizona. The procurement specifically requires a Rubicon SlipMeter with aluminum frame and stainless steel fasteners, magnesium anode rod kits, professional installation and commissioning services, and associated parts and accessories from Rubicon Systems America Inc. The contract is justified as sole-source due to compatibility requirements with existing SCADA systems and infrastructure, as the current SlipMeter components are trademarked Rubicon Water products already installed at the facility. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) with evaluation focusing on technical compliance and integration capabilities. Following an amendment, quotes are now due September 11, 2025, at 12:00 PM PT, with questions accepted via email until September 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM PT.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents an unrestricted competition, though it is structured as a sole-source award to Rubicon Water given the proprietary nature of the existing equipment. While the contract value was redacted from available documents, the procurement falls under the small business size standard of $41 million for the applicable NAICS category. The performance period spans 200 days from contract award, with delivery scheduled for October 1, 2025, and service activities extending through September 30, 2026. Installation work will take place at the LDCA headworks facility along Laguna Dam Road in Yuma County, Arizona, following manufacturer specifications and recommendations from a Technical Service Center inspection report. The contract includes rated order status under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, indicating priority allocation of materials and services.
