About this opportunity
The US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is soliciting proposals for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of four Keplic Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) Switchgear units (11kV) to support the Kuwait Transmitters Expansion Project. The contract requires complete design, manufacture, shop drawings preparation, testing, delivery, installation, commissioning, as-built drawings, and operations and maintenance manuals, with all electrical work performed or overseen by licensed electricians. Key specifications include MEW-approved panels with 950A VCB and 1200A bus bars rated at 40 degrees Celsius with 31.5kA/3-second short circuit rating, minimum 95kVp lightning impulse withstand capability, and protection functionality for relays 50, 51, 50N, 51N, and 86. Award will be made to the offeror providing the best value based on compliance, technical knowledge and capabilities, past performance, and price, with non-price factors considered significantly more important than price. The proposal submission deadline is February 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, contractor questions were due January 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, and answers were anticipated by February 2, 2026.

The contract performance period is seven months from award, with delivery required no later than 90 days after contract award using FOB destination terms. The place of performance is Kuwait City, Kuwait, where the switchgear units will be installed in the existing switchgear room to provide power isolation, power quality monitoring, demand measurement, and overload/trip protection for the four new transmitters. All offerors must acknowledge receipt of Amendment 01 (effective February 2, 2026) prior to proposal submission by completing the Standard Form 30, returning copies of the amendment, or submitting a separate letter or electronic communication referencing the solicitation and amendment numbers.
