Repair service for Hubbell Equipment

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) Desert Southwest Region is conducting a sources sought announcement for repair services for Hubbell/RFL government-owned equipment, specifically focusing on power supplies and I/O interface units experiencing various technical failures. This market research initiative aims to identify qualified vendors capable of servicing 12 RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) items with documented issues including power supply failures, alarms, buzzing sounds, and transient voltage problems. Interested vendors must submit responses electronically to reyeswiltz@wapa.gov by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on February 6, 2025, with required information including business size, point of contact details, a comprehensive capability statement, and past performance history. To be considered a small business, vendors must meet the size standard for NAICS Code 811210 "Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance" with a $34.0 million threshold. All potential contractors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible.

This sources sought announcement is not a formal solicitation and does not guarantee a contract award, serving primarily as a market research tool to inform WAPA's acquisition strategy. The opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category, allowing both small and large businesses to respond. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the detailed equipment repair list suggests a focused, technical service requirement primarily centered on power infrastructure components at the PHS Communications Center. The government will review submitted responses and may subsequently publish a formal solicitation based on the market research findings. Vendors should note that no costs associated with responding to this announcement will be reimbursed, and the government retains full discretion in determining the ultimate acquisition approach and whether to proceed with a competitive solicitation.
