Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, has issued a Special Notice combining a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Sole Source and a Request for Information (RFI). The NOI indicates an intent to sole source SCADA integration services to Motor City Electric Technologies for the 9-Mile Pump Station construction project in St. Clair Shores, MI. The RFI seeks industry feedback from firms capable of providing a directly compatible equivalent product for these SCADA integration services. Responses are due April 24, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
USACE Detroit District anticipates a solicitation for the 9-Mile Pump Station construction. A portion of this acquisition, specifically the SCADA integration services, is intended to be sole-sourced to Motor City Electric Technologies. This is due to their unique qualifications, deep integration with the existing proprietary SCADA system, role in the county's cybersecurity plan, and exclusive maintenance of proprietary graphic standards. Awarding to another vendor would introduce unacceptable risks, duplication of cost, and mission-critical delays.
The RFI component is for market research purposes, inviting interested parties who can source and procure a directly compatible equivalent product to identify their interest and capabilities. This is not a request for a competitive proposal or a solicitation.
