AI Contract Overview

Nashville Electric Service has issued solicitation Z5196 for the procurement of high-voltage lineman's glove protectors in sizes 9 and 10. These protectors are designed to provide mechanical protection for rubber gloves rated for 30,000 volts and must adhere to U & S Specification GP96-1, ASTM Specification F696-91, and ASTM D120. Technical requirements specify an overall length of 13 inches, a Gunn cut design using top grain goat skin for the palm and back, and bonded nylon thread throughout. The gloves must feature a self-supporting straight cuff with a split leather palm side and high-visibility orange vinyl covered fabric on the back, secured by an adjustable webbing drawstrap with a non-metallic buckle. Compliance requires that leather tannage testing meet Federal Specifications KK-L-2004 and KK-L-170C. Each pair must be packed in plastic shipping bags and clearly marked with the hand size, manufacturer name, overall length, and the NES logo stamped in 1 inch black letters on the palm side of the cuff. Only approved manufacturers, including VoltGard, Salisbury, and Youngstown, are acceptable, and alternate brands will not be considered. Bids must be submitted via the Bid Center by September 22, 2026, and must include the earliest delivery time in calendar days, as delivery speed may be a factor in the award decision.
