There is a potential requirement by the Government to conduct oil and electrical testing and make repairs, if necessary, to up to 23 Existing Pad Mounted Type 3Ø Power Transformers, so that the transformers are ready for future use. The location of the transformers is in Puerto Rico and the testing would need to take place there.

The Government is currently only looking for capability statements from 8(a) small business concerns. Interested 8(a) small business concerns should provide examples of comparable work performed within the last five years that demonstrates experience in testing and repairing transformers. The examples should include a brief description of the project(s), customer name(s), timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and dollar value of the projects.
