Clamp Strain

Nashville Electric Service is seeking bids for 850 units of a 477MCM-AL aluminum dead-end clamp designed for 18/1 ACSR conductors with no socket eyes, specifically requiring compliance with approved manufacturer part numbers: MACLEAN HDSO-88, CONTL EL HDSO-88-N, and ANDERSON ADEZ-88-N. No substitutions or alternative brands are permitted, and the item must meet the exact technical description provided without reference to external industry standards. The solicitation, labeled Z4766, was posted on July 8, 2026, with responses due by 2:00 PM local time on July 13, 2026, and must be submitted electronically through the official Bid Center portal, though physical delivery to the Procurement Section at 1214 Church St., Nashville, TN 37246 is also an option. Delivery timelines, stated in calendar days after receipt of order, will be considered during award determination, but no FOB terms, period of performance dates, or contract value are specified. The place of performance is Nashville, Tennessee, with Tiffany Caruthers, Buyer II, serving as the sole point of contact for procurement inquiries. While the solicitation is structured as a competitive bid under the NAICS code 423610 and is categorized under SLED procurement, it lacks formal FAR clauses, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, pricing data, or certification obligations typically found in federal contracts. The absence of weights for award criteria, payment office details, COR/COTR assignments, or socioeconomic provisions indicates a streamlined procurement process focused exclusively on technical compliance and timely delivery.
