About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Hawaii (NAVFAC Hawaii) is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers for an adapter panel that converts RJ45 serial ports to DB-9 connectors, specifically seeking alternatives to the SEL-2902 manufactured by Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. The agency intends to procure this equipment under a sole source arrangement unless other suppliers can demonstrate equal performance capabilities to the existing SEL product. The required adapter must facilitate connections between newer SEL devices with RJ45 ports and older serial cables with DB-9 connectors, support multiple mounting options including rack, surface, and DIN rail mounting, and enable transitions from older SEL communication processors to new SEL RTACs without replacing existing serial wiring. Interested vendors must submit complete technical specifications and company information in Adobe PDF format using Times New Roman 11-point font on single-sided 8.5 by 11 inch pages. The submission deadline for this sources sought notice is September 17, 2025, with responses due seven days after the posting date of September 10, 2025.
This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors who can demonstrate comparable capabilities to the incumbent product. Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, located in Pullman, Washington, is identified as the current manufacturer of the SEL-2902 adapter panel that serves as the performance benchmark for potential alternatives. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantity requirements, as this is strictly a market research exercise to determine the availability of competitive products. The government explicitly states that this sources sought announcement should not be construed as a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract, and no reimbursement will be provided to vendors for costs associated with preparing responses. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 335314 for Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing and PSC code 6110 for Electrical Control Equipment, indicating the technical nature of the required adapter equipment.
