About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District has issued a Notice of Intent regarding a brand name requirement for Electric Power, Inc. (EPI) shielded disconnect switches at the Cape Cod Space Force Station in Bourne, Massachusetts. This special notice concerns 480V, 4,000A Shielded Disconnect Switches that will be part of a Power Generation Microgrid project designed to replace aging power generation infrastructure with new electrical systems and backup power assets. The Army Corps intends to sole source these switches from EPI under FAR 6.302-1 authority, citing that EPI's switch connection technology is the only available option meeting required MIL-STD protection criteria. The switches are critical components for protecting mission-critical equipment and facilities against High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) events. Two incoming power lines at the Power Plant (Building 4) will require these specialized disconnect switches.
This notice serves as a market research tool to determine whether other qualified sources exist that can meet the specified requirements, rather than soliciting competitive proposals. Interested parties have 15 days from the July 31, 2025 posting date to submit responses, with all submissions due by August 15, 2025. Potential sources must demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent technology that meets the military standards for HEMP protection and the specific technical requirements of the microgrid project. The government emphasizes that it has no obligation to pay for any information received and that responses will be used solely to determine whether alternative system manufacturers should be considered. All inquiries must be submitted via email to tyler.s.maryak@usace.army.mil with the specified subject line or mailed to the designated address in Concord, Massachusetts.
Notice text
Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, a brand name requirement for the manufacturer Electric Power, Inc. (EPI) to supply the 480V, 4,000A Shielded Disconnect Switches (SDS) for the Cape Cod Space Force Station (CCSFS) Power Generations Microgrid project to be constructed in, Bourne, MA.
The Power Generation Microgrid project will construct a microgrid intended to replace the aging power generation plant and associated infrastructure with all new electrical systems and backup power assets on CCSFS. The shielded Disconnect Switches along with the power filters protect against High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) events. The SDS are a necessary part of protecting crucial mission critical equipment and facilities and are required to meet military standards. The Power Plant (Building 4) will have two incoming power lines requiring these SDS. The technology of the EPI switch connections is the only available option which meets the MIL-STD protection criteria.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability of other qualified sources that can meet the requirements identified above. The Government is not obligated to, and will not pay for, any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice of intent. All responses received within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government to require the brand name for the Schneider Electric system for the CSL-MIF procurement based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to allow alternate system manufacturers.
