About this opportunity
This pre-solicitation notice seeks proposals for the installation and integration of equipment and software for an emergency/standby switchgear generator at the VA Long Beach campus in Long Beach, California. The Department of Veterans Affairs aims to expand backup power supply and improve the connection between the generator system and normal electrical service through reconfiguration of existing CAT-Quinn manufactured equipment. Proposals must come from Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses and are due by August 31, 2023. The contract is valued between $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 and is expected to be awarded in late July to August 2023, with an 820-day performance period.
The opportunity is set aside for SDVOSBs. The project involves physical investigation of current conditions, provision of temporary emergency power during construction, and transitioning the standby power supply system to a combined emergency and standby system. Reconfiguration will accommodate the facility's operational needs. The contract aims to provide balanced emergency and standby switchgear for improved safety over the standalone standby system currently in place.
