WY BO B2A panel replacement

The Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, is seeking to procure a 125 VDC Dead-Front Distribution Switchboard for the Boysen Powerplant B2A Panel Replacement project in Wyoming. The switchboard must be manufactured by one of five approved vendors: Eaton, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric, or ABB, and must be designed for a 125-volt direct current ungrounded power supply system. Key technical requirements include floor mounting with a height of 6-8 feet, molded-case circuit breakers, a minimum 400-ampere continuous main bus rating, and compliance with NEMA and NFPA standards. The contract will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria, prioritizing cost efficiency among technically compliant proposals. The Request for Quote is expected to be posted on SAM.gov on or about August 25, 2025, with contractors required to submit approval data within 90 days of contract award.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualified small business concerns. The contractor must deliver the switchboard to the Bureau of Reclamation Wyoming Area Office Warehouse by September 1, 2026, providing approximately one year for manufacturing and delivery. Additional requirements include providing extra materials such as one of each breaker type, one molded case switch, one of each relay type, and one voltmeter and ammeter for maintenance purposes. Delivery must be scheduled two weeks in advance and can only occur between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, excluding federal holidays. The switchboard must include specific components such as meters, relays, and a battery current shunt, along with detailed wiring and terminal block specifications to support the powerplant's electrical distribution needs.
