59--RELAY

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Determination to Solicit from a Single Source" for Solicitation No. 140R1726Q0014. It outlines the justification for procuring supplies from a single source, specifically Schweitzer Engineering Labs (SEL), for generator protective relays.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the government is pursuing a sole-source procurement for specific SEL relays (Part No. 300G#GWAQ, SEL-300G Protective Generator Relay). The justification is based on the need for compatibility with the existing system at the Grand Coulee Power Office, which utilizes SEL relays and proprietary hardware/software. The relays are required for primary and backup protection of industrial generators and must meet North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection Plan (NERC CIP) requirements. The document indicates that while market research was performed, only SEL can provide relays that are consistent and compatible with the current system due to its unique characteristics and advanced features. The estimated value is not explicitly stated, but the purchase order will be firm fixed price with a 60-day delivery schedule. The agency anticipates receiving competitive quotes for the specified brand name products.
