About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, is conducting a sources sought notice to identify small business concerns capable of engineering, designing, fabricating, testing, and delivering sixteen replacement motor control panels, with responses due by August 20, 2026. This is market research only; no contract will be awarded as a result of this notice. The requirement carries a total small business set-aside, with a 750-employee size standard under NAICS 335314.
The panels will replace existing systems at three USACE Pittsburgh District facilities: Hildebrand Lock and Dam (6 units), Morgantown Lock and Dam (6 units), and Opekiska Lock and Dam (4 units). Work includes field verification at all three locations, engineering and design, electrical schematics and panel layouts, component selection, fabrication, factory acceptance testing, documentation, and delivery.
Technical requirements specify stainless steel 304 or 316 NEMA Type 4X/IP66 enclosures, 480 VAC three-phase power with ground, and standard industrial components including circuit breakers, fuses, overloads, power supplies, relays, contactors, transformers, and associated wiring. The panels must replace existing motor control panels in kind, operate identically to existing systems, and integrate with existing wiring and remote gate-control systems.
Reference drawings for all three facilities are attached as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with limited dissemination to federal personnel only. The Government will use responses to determine appropriate acquisition strategy, including whether to proceed with a formal small business set-aside solicitation.
