About this opportunity

Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC), a private non-profit power utility serving the Upper and Middle Florida Keys, has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the purchase of five outdoor vacuum circuit breakers. The procurement seeks one 48 VDC nominal control voltage breaker rated at 1200 amps continuous and four 125 VDC nominal control voltage breakers consisting of one unit rated at 1200 amps continuous and three units rated at 2000 amps continuous. All breakers must be designed to ANSI C37.09, IEEE, and NEMA standards with specifications including 27 kV maximum voltage rating, 60 Hertz frequency, and capabilities for capacitance current switching, shunt reactor switching, and load current switching. Deliverables must include full ANSI routine testing certification, detailed drawings, instruction manuals within six weeks of contract award, and a standard manufacturer warranty for 60 months from shipment. All costs are to be inclusive of taxes, fees, and freight prepaid delivery to FKEC's Tavernier, Florida operations center, with vendors required to specify delivery dates for each unit. Evaluation will be weighted as follows: Cost of Material (50%), Manufacturing Quality and Performance (25%), and Availability of Material (25%). The written questions deadline is April 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., bids are due April 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with an anticipated award date of April 30, 2026. Questions must be submitted in writing to procurement@fkec.com, and specifications are available through DemandStar.com or myvendorlink.com.

The RFQ does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement documents. FKEC reserves the right to reject any or all quotes, waive irregularities, and separately accept or reject any items based on its best interests, with termination rights retained on the expiration date without financial responsibility for materials not yet received. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documentation; however, the evaluation criteria and "Fully Delivered/Not to Exceed" pricing structure indicate that cost will be a significant factor in the award decision, with payment to be made upon delivery and receipt of invoices.
