Digital Multi-function Protection Relays

This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this notice is to identify potential manufacturers of digital multi-function protection relays equal to brand-name Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL). The SEL system protection relays (SEL Relays) are components to the existing power transmission system of Guam Power Authority (GPA) on Guam.

The information received will be used by the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Marianas to determine if any other manufacturer of digital multi-function protection relays is able to seamlessly tie-in to GPA's existing power transmission system. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing this information or any follow-up information requests.
