The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, is seeking qualified small business concerns to perform insulation resistance testing, commonly known as megger testing, at four locks and dams located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia: Opekiska, Hildebrand, Morgantown, and Point Marion. The contractor must provide all labor, supervision, transportation, calibrated testing equipment, tools, and incidental services necessary to inspect electrical cables, coordinate hazardous-energy-control activities, conduct conductor-to-conductor and conductor-to-ground insulation resistance tests, document results, restore circuits to service, and submit final reports. This is a firm-fixed-price requirement with a single contract line item and a 90-day period of performance from the date of award. The acquisition is strictly a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 238210, with a size standard of $19 million in average annual receipts. Only eligible small businesses may respond, including the five existing Pittsburgh District Electrical Services Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) holders; if a current BPA holder is selected, a call will be issued under their existing agreement, whereas a non-BPA awardee will first have a new Electrical Services BPA established before issuance of the call. Testing must adhere to specified technical standards, including NFPA 70, NFPA 70B, ANSI/NETA ATS-2025, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and EM 385-1-1, with voltage applications of 500 volts DC for 300-volt rated cables and 1000 volts DC for 600-volt rated cables, and valid readings must remain stable for at least 15 seconds over a one-minute duration. Measurements must include phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground, and phase-to-neutral, all conducted per manufacturer procedures, with results documented as pass or fail in the final report. Inspections and acceptance occur on-site at the project locations, with the contractor responsible for execution and the Government retaining authority for review and formal acceptance. All personnel must undergo NCIC-III and TSDB background checks for unescorted site access, comply with E-Verify requirements, complete initial security awareness training within 30 days of award, and follow strict identification, access control, and force protection protocols. Wage rates for labor categories are established under the Service Contract Act, and compliance with Davis-Bacon requirements, including conformance requests for unlisted classifications,
