About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought and Request for Information for a standby generator installation at Red River Army Depot in New Boston, Texas, with capability statements due Friday, November 13, 2026, NLT 4:00 P.M. CDT. The notice is market research only, and no set-aside is used.

The project will provide 100% standby power to Building 493 (Rubber Operations), Building M495 (fluidized bed), and the compressor service supporting Building 493. Scope includes one 1300 KW generator, two 500 KW generators, a 3000 KVA step-up transformer, and 15 kV switchgear in a Distributed Infrastructure system with closed-transition operation for AEP/SWEPCO standby response. Facilities require a minimum 40-year design life under UFC 1-200-02. The Government's target price range for construction is $4,800,000 to $5,127,000, with a programmed project authorization of $5,700,000.

The Government anticipates a Progressive Design-Build procurement under Other Transaction Authority pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2808a, operating outside the FAR. Phase 1 covers design and preconstruction services selected on qualifications, with award targeted for April 2027. Phase 2 involves negotiating a Guaranteed Maximum Price at approximately 65% design maturity, with an off-ramp allowing the Government to retain the design and procure construction separately. Construction is projected at approximately 540 calendar days after Phase 2 execution. The NAICS code is 238210 and the PSC is 6115.

Respondents submit a capability statement and the Market Intelligence Report: Industry Day/First Look Questionnaire by email to Ms. Octavia Gregory, copying Ms. Shayla Lucas. Technical questions go through ProjNet (Project Number 520250, Key Number 6T6ATA-AP4FYX) by November 9, 2026, NLT 10:00 A.M. CDT. An Industry Day will be scheduled, with details and registration published in a subsequent SAM.gov Special Notice.
