About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Limit Competition for a firm-fixed price construction contract. This notice, posted on March 12, 2026, identifies specific Allen Bradley programmable logic controller (PLC) equipment as the sole source requirement for procurement. The agency is invoking 10 United States Code 3204(a)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2) to justify limiting competition based on the unique and highly specialized nature of the required supplies. The contract involves multiple Allen Bradley components including a CompactLogix 600kb Ethernet Controller, analog input/output modules, and digital input/output modules. Responses to this Special Notice are due by March 27, 2026, providing interested contractors with a two-week response window.
The primary objective of this acquisition is to procure mission-critical proprietary electrical equipment necessary for the Willamotte Valley Project's water monitoring system to ensure compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program under the Clean Water Act. The Allen Bradley PLC equipment will support water sampling operations at multiple dams throughout the project sites to maintain the Corps of Engineers' authorization to discharge into Willamette Valley Waterways. While this is a sole source procurement, the Special Notice represents an opportunity for contractors capable of supplying these specific Allen Bradley components to engage with USACE. The acquisition falls under the Electronic Computer Manufacturing (NAICS 334111) and Communications Security Equipment and Components (PSC 5810) categories. Contractors interested in participating should prepare to demonstrate their ability to deliver the specified equipment and support the agency's critical water monitoring and environmental compliance objectives.
Notice text
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (NWP) intends to negotiate/award a firm-fixed price (FFP) construction contract to include the following brand name or sole source requirements.
REASON FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION:
10 United States Code 3204(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2), the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The purpose is to obtain supplies at the required level of quality because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.
REQUIREMENTS:
Allen Bradley - CompactLogix 600kb Enet Controller- 5069-L306ER
Allen Bradley - Compact 5000 Analog Input Module- 5069-IF8
Allen Bradley - Compact I/O 8 Channel Analog Output Module- 5069-OF8

Allen Bradley - Channel 24VDC Source Digital Output Module - 5069-OB16
Background: Portland District project sites in Willamette Valley Project will use water monitoring system equipment to ensure compliance with the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit program. The NPDES permit program addresses water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. The Clean Water Act prohibits discharging pollutants through a point source into waters of the United States unless an NPDES permit is obtained. Remaining in compliance with the conditions of the permit is required for the Corps of Engineers to maintain its authorization to continue to discharge into Willamette Valley Waterways.
Project Scope. This acquisition is to provide mission critical proprietary electrical equipment for the NPDES Project, specifically, Allen Bradley PLC equipment for the Willamette Valley Project. To meet the NPDES requirements water sampling is needed at multiple dams. To collect and analyze this data multiple PLCs, modules and compatible ancillary equipment will be required.
The Government intends to solicit for this project on or around MAY 2026. Currently, a solicitation does not exist. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
