Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (NWP), has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a firm-fixed price (FFP), single-source contract to Instamation Systems Inc. for Redtag printers, software, training, supplies, support, and accessories. This procurement is critical for the Hazardous Energy Control Program (HECP) management lock-out/tag-out system at Portland District facilities. Capability statements from interested parties are due by June 16, 2026.
Scope of Work
This acquisition covers the provision of Redtag brand printers, software, supplies, training, support, and accessories specifically for the Hazardous Energy Control Program (HECP) management lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) system. These items are essential for managing energized equipment as mandated by USACE engineering manuals. The current LOTO system hardware and software are end-of-life and unsupported, necessitating this replacement to prevent district-wide operational stoppages.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Special Notice (intent to award sole source FFP service contract)
- Intended Awardee: Instamation Systems Inc.
- Statutory Authority: 10 USC § 3204(a)(1), RFO FAR 12.102(a) for commercial purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
- Set-Aside: None (sole source)
- Response Due: June 16, 2026, 21:00 UTC
- Published: June 2, 2026, 21:00 UTC
Justification for Sole Source
The sole source acquisition is justified because the Redtag brand is the only approved LOTO hardware and software on the USACE CIO/G-6 Approved Product Lists for use on CorpsNet. Instamation Systems Inc. is identified as the sole authorized vendor for these Redtag products. The absence of an approved replacement would severely impact preventive maintenance, future contracts, and equipment repair capabilities.
Capability Statement Submission
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement for agency consideration. Submissions must include:
- Point of Contact name, email, phone, CAGE code, and DUNS number.
- Small business category, if applicable.
