Quick Summary
The United States Air Force (USAF), Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) for Power System Modeling and Analysis services at various Air Force installations. This RFI aims to identify industry capabilities for comprehensive electrical system analysis and modeling. Responses are due May 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves providing all necessary labor, software, materials, and supervision to:
- Collect field data related to electrical distribution systems.
- Develop and/or update comprehensive electrical models of each installation's power system.
- Perform detailed power system studies, including:
- Power Flow Analysis
- Cross Connect Capability Evaluation
- Short Circuit Study
- Single Point of Failure (SPOF) analysis for all generator locations
- Protective Device Coordination Study
- Arc Flash Hazard Analysis (in accordance with NFPA 70E)
- Distribution System Reliability analysis (aiming for 99.9% reliability).
- Generate detailed analysis reports with findings, recommendations, and executive summaries. Services will cover medium-voltage, primary, low-voltage, and secondary distribution equipment, emergency/backup generators, and electric motors rated 50 HP or greater, across multiple specified installations.
