New requirement WHS resistor capacitor

The Bureau of Reclamation, under the Department of the Interior, is seeking to procure Resistor Capacitor Assemblies for the Grand Coulee Power Office in Grand Coulee, Washington. The specific equipment required is a Type 230KM 25,000-25 Oil Circuit Breaker replacement assembly (Part Number 767D029-01 or equivalent) with technical specifications including a maximum voltage of 242 KV, short circuit current of 54 KA, impulse withstand of 900 KV, continuous current of 2,500 amps, and an interrupting time of 3 cycles. This acquisition will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, simplified acquisition procedures. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis, with the anticipated award occurring in the third week of May 2026. Prospective vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at the time of quote submission, and the pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 23, 2026, with a response due date of May 8, 2026.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a 100 percent set-aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), restricting competition to firms meeting this criteria. No incumbent contractor or specific award value is identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The requisite technical specifications are tied to a specific existing circuit breaker model referenced in ITE Manual 051-L020-06, suggesting this is a replacement or maintenance-related requirement rather than a new system implementation. Interested small businesses in the capacitor, resistor, and transformer manufacturing sector (NAICS 334416) classified under the Capacitors product service code (PSC 5910) should prepare their submissions accordingly to meet the compressed timeline leading to the anticipated May award.
