AI Contract Overview

The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission awarded a firm fixed price purchase order to address an urgent failure in the SCADA system at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant, where a network hardware malfunction disrupted critical process controls, leading to treatment upsets, elevated contaminants in the disinfection system, an E. coli compliance violation, and ongoing risks to public health and regulatory standing. Due to the emergency nature of the failure and the immediate need to restore operations, the contract was issued under simplified acquisition procedures allowing for sole-source award, as no other supplier could respond within the required timeframe, and a preaward synopsis was waived under federal exceptions for unusual and compelling urgency. The scope of the award is strictly limited to emergency diagnostics, repair or replacement of failed network components, restoration of communications and control functions, system testing, and temporary stabilization to bring the SCADA system back to operational status. It excludes any routine, recurring, or long-term maintenance, upgrades, or improvement services, which remain under separate acquisition planning. The action was taken under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 5.202(a)(2), with the contract issued as a postaward notice for transparency only, not as a solicitation or commitment. The work is being performed at the plant in Nogales, Arizona, with the award administered by the International Boundary and Water Commission’s office in El Paso, Texas, and inquiries should be directed to Suzette Smith at suzette.smith@ibwc.gov. Future opportunities for broader SCADA improvements will be posted separately on SAM.gov.

Full Description

Emergency SCADA System Restoration Award

The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission awarded a firm fixed price purchase order for emergency diagnostic, repair, restoration, testing, and temporary stabilization services for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant.

A network hardware failure impaired critical SCADA process controls and reduced the facility's ability to manage wastewater treatment operations. The condition contributed to treatment process upset, elevated total suspended solids entering the ultraviolet disinfection system, an E. coli permit compliance failure, required regulatory reporting, and continuing risks to plant operations, regulatory compliance, and public health.

The Government made the award using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.106 1(b)(1) because the emergency circumstances made only one source reasonably available within the required timeframe. Pursuant to FAR 5.202(a)(2), the Government did not issue a preaward synopsis because waiting for the applicable publicizing and response periods would have delayed corrective action and seriously injured the Government.

The purchase order is limited to emergency diagnostics, repair or replacement of affected network components, restoration of communications and process controls, system testing, confirmation of operational functionality, and temporary stabilization necessary to address the active failure. The award does not include routine, recurring, or long term SCADA maintenance and improvement services.

This emergency action is separate from the broader SCADA maintenance and improvement services requirement previously identified through a sources sought notice. The Government continues to develop the acquisition strategy for that separate requirement. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for future notices.

This postaward notice is provided for informational purposes only. It is not a solicitation, request for quotations, or commitment by the Government.
