Due to changes in Government need, this sources sought notice was originally Solicitation# 140R3023R0008 Transformer Repair IDIQ (Hoover Dam), and has been revised from a transformer service requirement to a transformer supply requirement. The anticipated NAICS and PSC have been updated at the bottom of this notice. As a result, interested concerns who responded to the original sources sought notice (#140R3023R0008) shall respond to this new notice if they still want to be considered as part of market research and determination of the acquisition strategy. This is a sources sought synopsis for acquisition planning purposes only. No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. This sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government at this time. The responses to this sources sought will be used as market research to determine the Bureau of Reclamation's overall procurement strategy. All interested concerns may submit a completed vendor capability spreadsheet (attached) for consideration. Completed vendor capability spreadsheets received will be reviewed to determine the quantity and availability of contractors who have the ability to perform the work required. Based upon the response to this sources sought, the Government may determine to set this acquisition aside, proceed with an unrestricted solicitation, or decide on alternative procurement strategy. The Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Basin Region, has a requirement for supplies to support existing Generator Step-Up (GSU) transformers at Hoover Dam, located on the Colorado River, approximately 7 miles northeast of Boulder City, Nevada, and 32 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona. Specifics about the types of transformers are provided in the attached two documents with this posting: 1) DRAFT Transformer Supply IDIQ document and 2) vendor capability spreadsheet. The estimated magnitude for the five (5) year effort is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 overall, where each year of the five (5) years is anticipated to require between $500,000 and $1,000,000 of transformer supply delivery orders. The Government intends to award multiple indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, where the solicitation would be posted in late Q1 FY24. A completed vendor capability spreadsheet is to be submitted no later than Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight time. The attached spreadsheet response is highlighted for ease in review/completion. At a minimum, the submitted spreadsheet should contain the following completed fields: (1) Provide business name, UEI number, business size and type (8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran, Small Business, Large Business, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) etc.), and point of contact to include e-mail address and telephone number. (2) To assist the Government in determining vendor capability, kindly please fill out the yellow fields next to each row in order to demonstrate the capability to acquire the supply item. Comparable projects include, but not limited to: providing supplies to support GSU and other transformers including ones rated less than 100 MVA. No capability statements are necessary for this evaluation of vendor capability as long as the attached spreadsheet is completed and provided. Should the Government have any questions regarding the vendor capability spreadsheet responses, we will reach out directly. When it is determined that a formal solicitation will be issued, a notice will be posted on System for Award Management (SAM) www.SAM.gov Contract Opportunities.
