About this opportunity
The Western Area Power Administration within the Department of Energy has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Doble Engineering Company for the procurement of Manta Relay Test Sets. The notice specifically seeks six units of the Doble Manta MTS-5100 Protective Relay Test System, which are specialized testing instruments for protective relay systems. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures using FAR Part 13 authority and FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source contracting when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The notice was posted on September 18, 2025, with responses due by September 23, 2025, giving potential contractors a five-day response window.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the marketplace of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement while providing an opportunity for other contractors to demonstrate their capability to provide equivalent products or services. Contractors interested in responding must submit their information to Drew Mika at amika@wapa.gov by the September 23, 2025 deadline. The government reserves full discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or implement competitive procedures based on any responses received. The MTS-5100 systems being procured are comprehensive relay testing instruments that include features such as 4-phase AC/DC voltages, high VA 6-phase AC currents, GPS receivers, and various testing capabilities, with standard options including hard-shell shipping cases, test lead kits, and wireless keyboards. Any contractor believing they can provide equivalent products must demonstrate their ability to satisfy the agency's specific technical requirements for protective relay testing systems.
