Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Power Generation and Microgrid project at Camp Roberts, CA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District has issued a Special Notice regarding a Power Generation and Microgrid project at Camp Roberts, California. The notice specifically outlines the intent to sole source certain equipment from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), including specific relay, controller, and networking equipment models. The contract opportunity is not a competitive solicitation, but rather a notification of the Corps' planned procurement approach for critical infrastructure components. The special notice was posted on February 25, 2025, with a response deadline of March 12, 2025. The notice pertains to a defense-related infrastructure project involving power generation and microgrid technology.

Contractors interested in this opportunity are invited to submit a capability statement if they believe they can meet the specified requirements. All submissions must be in writing and provide sufficient detail for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate potential alternative sources. The submission deadline is 2:00 PM ET on March 12, 2025, and must be sent via email to alexa.l.dukes@usace.army.mil. While the notice indicates a sole-source intent for SEL equipment, it allows for potential alternatives by permitting interested parties to demonstrate their capability to fulfill the project requirements. The opportunity is not set aside for any specific type of business, suggesting it is open to a broad range of qualified contractors. The primary objective appears to be the construction of a power generation and microgrid system at Camp Roberts, with specific technical equipment requirements already identified.
