About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, intends to award a brand-name firm fixed price BPA call for electrical supplies at Newburgh Lock and Dam, with a notice-of-intent deadline of September 10, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Eaton brand electrical components; this is not a competitive quote solicitation. The requirement covers 35 line items of Eaton parts—including indicating lights, contactors, relays, transformers, meters, breakers, and starters—needed to replace faulty or damaged equipment in the Motor Control Center that supplies power to the entire lock facility at Newburgh, Indiana. The contracting officer determined that brand-name limitation is justified under FAR 12.102(a) based on unique technical compatibility requirements of the MCC system and the need for exact replacements to minimize operational downtime. Market research confirmed no viable alternatives exist that would function as exact replacements; alternate breakers, push buttons, or pilot lights would require complex modifications to the MCC and cause extended disruptions. The procurement uses Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds and is categorized as a new requirement. NAICS 335999 applies. This notice documents the contracting officer, technical specialist, and legal counsel certifications supporting the brand-name restriction.
