The Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Rocky Mountain Region is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of supplying 48VDC battery charging rectifier modules for Sageon charging systems (part number 100-7670-4850). This is a pre-solicitation notice intended to gauge market capability rather than solicit formal proposals, and responses will not be evaluated for contract award. Interested vendors must submit capability statements by May 4, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. MDT to the Contracting Officer, Carol L. Hammans, at hammans@wapa.gov with the subject line "SANGEON RECTIFIER - 26WA159803." The capability statements must include company contact information, business designation under NAICS Code 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing), the company's SAM Unique Entity ID (UEI) number, and the country of origin or manufacture of the item. No phone calls will be accepted, and all communications must be submitted via email.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities with no more than 600 employees under the applicable NAICS code. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or contractors, nor does it disclose specific award values, budget ranges, or anticipated quantities for the rectifier modules. No evaluation criteria are specified in this sources sought notice, as the primary purpose is to establish a vendor database and assess market availability for this specialized electrical component rather than to evaluate proposals competitively at this stage.
