Z--CT SWITCHGEAR REPLACEMENT STAMPEDE PP

The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting market research through this Sources Sought notice, identified by solicitation number 140R2026R0007, for the replacement of switchgear at the Stampede Powerplant. The project involves removing and replacing specific subpanels, including DCA, DCB, D1A, and DCC, within a facility featuring two 4160VAC generating units. Although the powerplant operates at high voltages, the specific scope requires replacing switchgear rated at 480VAC and under. Work is classified under NAICS 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors, and PSC Z2MZ, Repair or Alteration of EPG Facilities - Other, Including Transmission.

Performance requirements include the provision of backup generator power, as the DCA subpanel serves as the main station service distribution for the entire facility. Contractors are also responsible for providing on-site restroom facilities and hand wash stations. Standard working hours are scheduled from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with any work outside these hours requiring coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Representative two weeks in advance. The project does not require 24-hour management.

Responses to this notice are due by 5:00 PM PDT on April 15, 2026, though the metadata indicates a response deadline of April 16, 2026. Roxana Ahola serves as the point of contact for this requirement. The solicitation materials include two attachments: a Sources Sought notice posted on March 20, 2026, and a question-and-answer document posted on April 8, 2026. No specific set-aside designation is currently applied to this market research phase.
