The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla is seeking contractors to repair a Grundfos KWM 40.265.10T.60M.46 axial flow submersible pump used in the fish ladder cooling system at Little Goose Lock and Dam. The pump requires comprehensive restoration at the manufacturer's service center by factory-certified personnel, including complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, corrosion removal, coating restoration, replacement of gaskets and seals, comprehensive testing of electrical and mechanical components, and generation of a detailed final report. The contract will be awarded based on best value to the responsible offeror meeting or exceeding all solicitation requirements, with pricing structured as a firm fixed price arrangement. The solicitation (W912EF25QA040) has a response deadline of September 15, 2025, with delivery required by January 5, 2026. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the US Army Engineer District facility in Walla Walla, Washington.

This opportunity is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises with a size standard of $12,500 under NAICS code 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The pump being repaired has serial number OP1706000501, was originally acquired in 2016 for $83,438, and carries an estimated replacement cost of $350,000. The repair work has an anticipated maximum timeline of 30 weeks, and the contractor will be responsible for all transportation costs associated with retrieving and returning the pump to the government facility in Dayton, Washington. Delivery restrictions require coordination between Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays. The project involves a previously terminated repair contract, making this a time-sensitive procurement for critical infrastructure supporting fish migration systems.
