About this opportunity

The Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC) issued Bid #25-01, a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the procurement of six outdoor vacuum circuit breakers. The specific requirements include one 48 VDC nominal control voltage breaker and five 125 VDC nominal control voltage breakers, which must be outdoor type, frame mounted, three-pole, single throw units. Technical specifications mandate compliance with IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA standards, with detailed requirements for high voltage and low voltage cabinets, mounting frames, and comprehensive testing protocols. The evaluation criteria for this procurement will be based on a 100-point scoring system: 50 points for material cost, 25 points for manufacturing quality and performance, and 25 points for material availability. Key dates for this solicitation include January 16, 2025, for submitting questions, January 22, 2025, as the quote submission deadline, and January 28, 2025, for announcing the intent to award. The successful bidder must provide certification documents, detailed drawings, and commit to a 60-month warranty, with shipment to be F.O.B. factory and freight prepaid to destination.

The RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The solicitation was ultimately awarded to ABB, Inc. on January 24, 2025, through a non-public bid process. FKEC, serving over 33,000 meters in the Upper and Middle Florida Keys and relying on mainland power supply, emphasized its status as a non-governmental entity, citing Florida Statute Title X, Chapter 119, to maintain bidding process confidentiality. While the exact award value is not disclosed, the procurement involves six specialized circuit breakers with specific technical requirements. The cooperative reserved the right to protect the privacy of its bidders and vendors, choosing not to share details of the winning proposal. The procurement appears to be part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance and upgrade efforts for the electric cooperative's power distribution system.
