GE Grid Solutions 230KV Breaker Repair at Cane Island

The Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) is conducting a sole source procurement for specialized repair services on five GE Grid Solutions 230KV breakers located at the Cane Island power generation facility in Florida. The scope of work requires vendors to perform comprehensive evaluation of all five breakers, replace pressure switches, trip coils, and close coils on each unit, wire and reset switches, refill each breaker with hydraulic mechanism fluid, and deliver a written completion report documenting all work performed. Vendors must demonstrate authorization to service GE breaker equipment and provide documented evidence of prior experience with GE breaker systems of similar type and complexity within power generation or utility environments, with all work performed in accordance with original equipment manufacturer standards. This procurement is being executed as a sole source purchase from GE Grid Solutions, LLC due to the highly specialized and technical nature of the equipment and required services. The submission deadline for quotations and detailed goods/services information is April 8, 2026 at 2:00 P.M. through KUA's Procurement portal via VendorLink, with vendors required to submit a completed Certificate of Confidentiality with their offering. Addendum #1, issued on March 30, 2026, provides nameplate information and technical specifications for the breakers and must be acknowledged by all bidders with their response.

While the procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular types of organizations, vendors claiming they can provide equivalent goods or services to those specified for GE Grid Solutions, LLC may submit written quotations with detailed statements and sufficient documentation demonstrating that their offerings meet or exceed the specified requirements. The documents do not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements beyond compliance with GE 230KV breaker system standards. The procurement notice does not disclose specific pricing information, contract award values, or budget ranges, requiring interested vendors to develop quotations based on the detailed technical scope of work provided. All prospective vendors are subject to Florida Public Records Act requirements and must properly label any information claimed as confidential or trade secret using statutory definitions, with failure to submit the required Certificate of Confidentiality potentially resulting in bid disqualification.
