HH oil filtration skid AP6700

The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, is soliciting proposals for a one-time supply of an oil filtration unit replacement system for the Hungry Horse Powerhouse. The procurement requires a sophisticated oil filtration skid capable of processing ISO68 oil below 5 microns at a minimum rate of 20 gallons per minute, featuring leak detection capabilities and unattended operation functionality. The system must include specific components such as a carbon steel or stainless steel vacuum tower, oil heater, condensate pump, particulate counter, flow and vacuum gauges, system isolation valves, screw pump, water elimination capabilities, and a variable frequency drive motor. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 333998 with detailed technical specifications requiring the unit to be forklift-movable with maximum dimensions of 130-inch depth by 74-inch width and 100-inch height. Proposal submissions are due August 29, 2025, at 1700 Mountain Daylight Time, with an anticipated delivery deadline of September 30, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with a size standard of 700 employees, ensuring participation is limited to qualifying small business entities. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges, focusing instead on the technical requirements for replacing the current inefficient system that requires nine hours to filter oil from one unit and demands constant monitoring. The oil filtration skid will be delivered to Hungry Horse Dam where plant staff will handle the installation, and the successful contractor must provide the manufacturer's standard warranty with the equipment. Performance will occur at the Hungry Horse Powerhouse facility, with the new system expected to significantly improve operational efficiency by reducing processing time and eliminating the need for continuous operator supervision.
