About this opportunity

The Department of State's US Embassy Asuncion intends to award a sole-source contract to Power Systems & Controls for the purchase of two emergency lighting inverters, with an estimated value of $35,000.

The justification invokes FAR 6.302-2, unusual and compelling urgency. The existing inverters shut down during generator transfers, creating an immediate life-safety risk to embassy personnel at the Chancery. The compressed timeframe makes full and open competition infeasible without jeopardizing safety. Power Systems & Controls possesses the exact technical specifications and manufacturer-authorized programming capability required to configure compliant units and deliver them within the accelerated schedule. The contracting officer determined the proposed cost fair and reasonable based on vendor standard pricing and market comparison. No public notice was published pursuant to FAR 5.202(a)(1) exception due to urgency. The award was made on September 24, 2026. The Embassy plans to explore establishing a standing arrangement with Power Systems & Controls for future similar requirements. NAICS 22112 (Electric Power Transmission, Control, and Distribution); PSC 5935 (Connectors, Electrical).
