Electrical Switchgear Testing Washington Correctional

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has issued solicitation 2139138 for electrical switchgear and partial discharge testing, service, and training at the Washington and Great Meadow Correctional Facilities. This discretionary procurement, valued under 150,000 dollars, has a contract term of 18 months from the date of approval. The scope of work includes the cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and electrical testing of medium voltage switchgear and transfer switches, as well as the service and testing of oil-filled and dry-type transformers.

All results must be delivered in formal bound reports, and all work must be bid using the prevailing wage rate. The award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the grand total of the bid, which includes the base service and two specific training requirements: a 6-hour Arc Flash Safety Awareness course for up to 20 people and a 4-hour generator and transformer training session. The solicitation establishes specific socioeconomic goals, including a 6.00 percent goal for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses and a 15.00 percent goal for Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises. Bidders must submit a comprehensive package including an MWBE Utilization Plan, notarized contractor certifications, and a site visit verification form. The response deadline is January 7, 2027, and submissions must be delivered physically to the Washington Correctional Facility Business Office, as email submissions are not accepted.
