The solicitation, Event #EV00000712, requires suppliers to provide a Level 2 emergency power supply system compliant with NFPA 110 standards, featuring a diesel engine-generator set with specific technical requirements including a three-phase, four-wire output and precise voltage and frequency regulation. Potential manufacturers include Generac, Cummins, MTU Onsite Energy, Kohler, and CAT, with the requirement to source the generator set and auxiliary components from a single manufacturer. The bid will be evaluated using a lowest and best criterion based on meeting minimum specifications detailed in the HMCC Generator Engineer Plans and Drawings. Key dates include May 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. as the last day to submit questions, and June 3, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. as the bid response deadline. Bidders must submit their responses via the Oklahoma Supplier Portal and provide a comprehensive bid packet including company information, required forms, pricing, and potential value-added services.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, but the OMES Form CP076 indicates opportunities for service-disabled veteran businesses and includes compliance requirements related to business registration and insurance. The contract is structured as a single purchase without renewal options, focusing on a quantity of one generator unit with vendors required to propose their unit price and lead time. Bidders must demonstrate at least 36 months of experience providing relevant products or services and complete an Executive Summary detailing their business history, organizational structure, and core competencies. While no specific budget range is listed, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a substantial investment in a high-performance emergency generator system. The contract includes stringent security protocols for working within a correctional facility, including mandatory background checks, identification procedures, and compliance with Prison Rape Elimination Act requirements. Successful bidders must also adhere to strict contraband restrictions and security guidelines when accessing the Howard McLeod Correctional Center.
