About this opportunity
The International Boundary and Water Commission U.S.-Mexico seeks procurement of a GPS clock for installation at the Amistad Power Plant in Del Rio, Texas, with offers due August 6, 2026 and questions due July 23, 2026. This is a 100% small business set-aside RFQ for commercial items under FAR Subpart 12.6, foreclosing competition outside the small business pool. The NAICS code is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business employee threshold of 1,350.
Place of performance is Del Rio, TX 78840 (Amistad Power Plant, Starr County). Work must be completed within 120 calendar days of contract award, conducted Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, excluding federal holidays and facility closures. The project objective is to synchronize time across protective relays, Governor PLC, annunciator, 480V switchgear, SCADA communication systems, and wall clocks to address unsynchronized or non-functional existing clocks that could cause load schedule errors and inaccurate logbook entries.
Deliverables include GPS clock purchase and installation, electrical supplies (conduits, connectors, clamps), installation and programming services, test equipment setup, final inspection, travel for two technicians over five days, lodging and meals for two personnel over five days, building drawings and schematics, and employee training. The contractor must obtain site assessment approval from Power Plant Superintendent Juan Escobar, provide licenses and certifications for electrical engineers and installers, perform regulatory compliance (OSHA, IEEE NESC, NFPA standards), and deliver a two-year warranty covering equipment, materials, and workmanship commencing at substantial completion.
Evaluation uses a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach where technical and past performance factors are weighted equally to price. Service Contract Act prevailing wage rates apply across five Texas counties (Edwards, Kinney, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde). Site visits at Amistad Power Plant are encouraged; all personnel must wear personal protective equipment (mask and gloves) and sign in at the IBWC Main Office before crossing the port of entry. Offers must be emailed to danilo.martinez@ibwc.gov with active UEI# and completed price sheet; faxed quotes and phone calls will not be accepted.
