Schneider Electric PowerLogic Purchase

NASA Shared Services Center is procuring Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM8000 series panel-mounted meters and related electrical metering equipment for installation at multiple buildings at NASA Ames Research Center. The solicitation specifically requires PM8240 and PM8244x meters, current transformers, CT terminal blocks, and shorting blocks, along with installation services and nine days of Field Service Representative labor. This procurement is part of a multi-year initiative running from FY23 to FY28 to replace outdated ION 7330 meters and upgrade electrical power monitoring equipment to meet cybersecurity compliance standards. The contract will be awarded using lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria to the responsible offeror submitting the best value. The quote submission deadline was September 25, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CT, with quotes required to remain valid for 30 days.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334515 for Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. No specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, though the brand name justification indicates that approximately $2 million has already been invested in this ongoing modernization project. The work involves hardware supply for buildings M17, M18, M19, and M45, with installation services focused on Buildings M20 and M23, plus substation work at Building M10. Performance is required by September 30, 2025, with all work taking place at NASA Ames Research Center during normal business hours. The project represents a critical component of NASA's facility-wide electrical monitoring system upgrade, where switching to different equipment brands could result in significant financial loss and infrastructure disruption.
