15 KV Vacuum Circuit Breaker

The Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 25-043-JG for a single 15 KV Vacuum Circuit Breaker to be procured for fiscal year 2026. The solicitation requires vendors to provide a circuit breaker meeting specific technical specifications, including a 15.5 kV maximum voltage rating, 2000 amperes continuous current capacity, and 25k amperes short-circuit current capability. The breaker must comply with ANSI, NEMA, IEEE, and ASTM standards, be designed for a 3-phase, 60 hertz system, and withstand wind loads up to 90 mph. Vendors must electronically submit proposals through Vendor Link by Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with a public bid opening scheduled via Zoom. Bidders are required to demonstrate five consecutive years of verifiable commercial account experience and submit proposals in PDF, Word, or compressed file formats. The technical specifications also mandate specific provisions for current transformers, space heaters, auxiliary power supplies, and comprehensive testing and documentation standards.

The solicitation indicates this is a potential three-year contract with options for additional one-year renewal periods, with delivery requirements including freight to KUA's warehouse and ownership transfer upon offloading. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the bid emphasizes vendor experience and technical compliance. The procurement appears to be a straightforward replacement of an existing airport breaker (Breaker 04215), suggesting potential integration with current electrical infrastructure. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the single-unit procurement implies a focused, targeted purchase. The comprehensive technical specifications and experience requirements suggest KUA is seeking a high-quality, reliable circuit breaker from vendors with proven track records in electrical equipment manufacturing and distribution.
