Molina Flowmeters

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation is procuring flowmeter equipment for multiple hydroelectric facilities in Colorado, specifically requiring flowmeters for Upper Molina, Lower Molina, Morrow Point, and Blue Mesa locations. The solicitation seeks to modernize aging Accusonic flowmeter systems that are 30-36 years old by replacing electronic receiver and signal panels while retaining existing flow sensors. The procurement requires six Accusonic Model 8510+ flowmeter consoles or equivalent units with NEMA 4X weatherproof enclosures, advanced LCD touchscreens, and Modbus communication capabilities. Evaluation will be conducted using four factors: technical evaluation assessing product equivalency, delivery schedule, standard manufacturer warranty, and price competitiveness. The original response deadline was August 22, 2025, but Amendment 0001 has extended this deadline to September 4, 2025, with updated specifications highlighted in red in the revised Attachment A.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334513 with a size standard of 750 employees, falling under PSC code 6680 for liquid and gas flow measuring instruments. No incumbent contractors are specifically identified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not specify award values or budget ranges, though the scope includes multiple flowmeter units across four different facility locations. The required delivery date is September 22, 2025, with performance locations at the Upper and Lower Molina Power Plants in Mesa County, Colorado, as well as at Morrow Point and Blue Mesa facilities. The selected contractor must provide onsite testing, commissioning services, comprehensive documentation, and a one-year manufacturer warranty for all delivered equipment.
