ERCIP Microgrid and Power Generation Infrastructure at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition for the specification and use of Grundfos Model CRNE vertical, multistage centrifugal pumps with integrated frequency converter for the Reverse Osmosis system at the Water Treatment Plant at Stallion Range Center, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The project is part of the construction of a Microgrid and Power Generation Infrastructure. The government will not purchase the Grundfos equipment directly but will include a requirement for the construction contractor to purchase this specific brand-name equipment in the solicitation.

• Three (3) Grundfos Model CRNE 20-8 A-P-A-E-HQQE vertical multistage centrifugal pumps with integrated frequency converters (20 HP, 460 V, 60 Hz).

• These pumps are required to replace existing pumps in the reverse osmosis systems to reduce electrical inrush current and integrate with the existing proprietary system.

• The contract will be a new firm-fixed-price (FFP) construction contract.

• The estimated total cost for the components covered in this J&A is not explicitly stated but is referenced as part of a larger contract value.

• This document is a justification for a sole-source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals.

• A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted to SAM.gov on February 13, 2026, with a response date of March 2, 2026.

• The overall proposed price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness.

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition.

• The authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), implemented by FAR 6.301-1, for "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."

• Technical concerns and compatibility with the existing proprietary reverse osmosis system are cited as reasons for this brand-name justification.

• Replacing the entire reverse osmosis system with other systems was considered as an alternative but would incur higher replacement costs.
