About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, issued a sole source justification and approval on September 25, 2026, for the supply of twelve Basler Digital Excitation Controller Retrofit Upgrade Kits, three Basler DECS-2100 spare parts packages, and twelve electronic cabinets from Basler Electric Company LLC, with a response deadline of October 2, 2026. This is a formal notice of sole source intent, not a competitive solicitation; no award will be made based on responses received.

The procurement supports excitation system upgrades at three hydroelectric facilities: Lower Monumental Lock & Dam (four units), Little Goose Lock & Dam (seven units), and Lower Granite Lock & Dam (four units). The current Andritz Thyne 5 excitation systems are obsolete and non-compliant with NERC/WECC standards as of April 1, 2024, with no available spare parts. Basler is certified as the sole manufacturer capable of providing compatible retrofit kits that integrate with existing power bridge equipment at these facilities. Previous Basler retrofit contracts at sister facilities have proven successful. The contract will be structured as Firm-Fixed-Price supply and fully funded using Small Cap funding from Bonneville Power Administration.

The NAICS code is 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing); PSC is 5963 (Electronic Modules). Interested parties may submit written capability statements to Mary.L.Seiner@usace.army.mil by 11:00 AM PDT on October 2, 2026, solely to inform potential future competitive procurement decisions.
