About this opportunity
NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center is seeking contractors for the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Power Phase I (Tower C) project, specifically to revitalize power systems at the historic facility. The procurement, designated as 80KSC025R009, involves replacing three obsolete electrical substations (804, 874, and 875) and all associated 480V sub-fed panels located within Tower C of the VAB with new code-compliant electrical infrastructure. The project is critical to supporting NASA's Artemis Moon Landing Program by providing reliable power infrastructure for Exploration Ground System processing, Space Launch System Core staging, and institutional operations. Contractors must be prepared to work in a fully operational facility with minimal disruption to ongoing launch and vehicle processing activities, and will need to complete Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Joint Certification Program screening to access project specifications and drawings. The estimated solicitation release date is August 2025, with responses due by August 1, 2025, and the work must address potentially hazardous materials including asbestos and PCBs during equipment removal.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction) with a size standard of $45,000,000. The estimated award amount is anticipated to range between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, reflecting the complexity and scope of replacing electrical infrastructure that has been in service for over 60 years. The project period of performance is approximately 800 calendar days, providing contractors with more than two years to complete the comprehensive electrical system overhaul. The work scope includes installing new substations equipped with programmable logic controllers and conducting a comprehensive Arc Flash study as part of the modernization effort. No current incumbent contractors are identified in the pre-solicitation notice, suggesting this may be a new competitive procurement opportunity for qualified small businesses in the electrical construction sector.
