The study will conform to the editions for the above-referenced standards in effect as of the date of the solicitation. The study shall include all significant locations in the electrical distribution system (switchboards, switchgear, motor control centers, panelboards, busways, etc.) from the incoming utility equipment or cabling down to 208V systems. Data collection and documentation shall include the 208V system. The study shall be performed using software programs specifically designed to standards governing short-circuit; protective coordination and arc flash hazard calculations. Final submittals shall include a formal reporting of findings, collect data and study calculations in a comprehensive report.

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified acquisition procedures as implemented in RFO 12.102, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This will be a one-time firm fixed price contract modification. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 541350 with a business size standard of $11.5 Million.

The Government intends to proceed with SDV Services Inc. for the following reasons: Consistency and validity of results. SDV Services Inc. is already performing electrical distribution testing at this facility under the base contract. Using the same contractor keeps test methods, equipment calibration, documentation formats, and baseline data consistent. This allows results to be compared directly and reduces the risk of conflicting findings across the facility’s electrical system.
