WY cody/shoshone river GS service drop

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation is conducting market research for electric power distribution services related to the Wyoming Cody/Shoshone River Gauging Station service drop project. This pre-solicitation notice is specifically for market research and advanced planning purposes only, with no proposals being requested or accepted at this time. The selected contractor will be required to coordinate and work directly with Rocky Mountain Power to complete the specified scope of work for the gauging station power infrastructure. The project falls under NAICS code 221122 for Electric Power Distribution and PSC code Z2NE for Repair or Alteration of Water Supply Facilities. Interested parties must submit their responses to Contracting Officer Mitchell Frost at mfrost@usbr.gov by the August 8, 2025 deadline. The notice was posted on July 25, 2025, providing potential contractors with a two-week response window.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The Bureau of Reclamation has provided three government files as attachments, including the detailed sources sought document and two site photographs of the Shoshone River gauging station to help potential contractors understand the project scope and location. No incumbent contractors, specific award values, budget ranges, or detailed project timelines are mentioned in the current notice. The coordination requirement with Rocky Mountain Power suggests this is likely a utility infrastructure project that will require specialized electrical distribution expertise. Additional project specifications and requirements are expected to be detailed in the attached sources sought document, which contractors should review thoroughly before responding to this market research initiative.
