Hungry Horse Engineering Services for Powerplant Control Panel Installation

Notice of Sole Source Intent
The Bureau of Reclamation, Columbia-Pacific Northwest Regional Office, Interior Region 9, intends to award a purchase order to the Mesa Technologies, Inc., for control panel start-up, and commissioning testing services at Hungry Horse Powerplant in Hungry Horse, Flathead County, Montana. Reclamation has installed a Mesa Technologies, Inc., manufactured powerplant unit controls system at the facility and will transition from the current system to the new powerplant control panel system upon start-up and testing commissioning. Reclamation has found Mesa Technologies, Inc., to be the only reasonably available source with expertise to provide a manufacturing company accredited engineer and a hydropower control system engineer to successfully complete the required services at Hungry Horse Powerplant.
The resulting Purchase Order will be for a 12-month base period.
Since Reclamation's initial market research indicates that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the Agency's requirements, a Determination to Solicit from a Single Source justification is being prepared.
Reclamation anticipates award before August 2022; services to begin no later than 1 August 2022. Contractors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or contractors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contract Specialist.
