J&A Bolted Pressure Switches Eagleton Federal Courthouse Saint Louis, MO

The General Services Administration is conducting a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 to acquire two obsolete bolted pressure switches, model BPO3616E and BPO36201, for the Eagleton Federal Courthouse in Saint Louis, Missouri. The purchase is justified due to the unavailability of new or commercially equivalent replacements, with Electric Power Systems International, Inc. identified as the only responsible source capable of refurbishing these specific components, which are critical to maintaining the building’s main power distribution system following a 2025 power restoration event. The estimated contract value is $50,000, based on an Independent Government Estimate, with pricing to be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness against historical and market data rather than through competitive bidding. The delivery location is clearly defined as the courthouse in Saint Louis, Missouri, with no FOB terms or delivery schedule specified, but urgency is implied by the operational necessity of the switches. There are no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed inspection criteria outlined in the documentation, reflecting the non-competitive nature of the acquisition. The award is based solely on the justification of limited source availability and mission necessity, not on a comparative assessment of technical or cost proposals. While the Unique Entity ID T8MKNQKK4JZ4 is provided for the vendor, no size status, socioeconomic certifications, or affirmative representations are disclosed. Packaging, marking, and labeling requirements are absent, and no information is provided regarding invoicing methods, payment offices, or accounting codes. Although a system modernization plan is required to eventually replace these obsolete components with commercially available alternatives, no contract type, period of performance dates, or point of contact details beyond the primary point of contact, Stephan J. Harris of GSA, are included. The procurement is documented as a Justification and Approval with no attachments, clause references, or submission instructions, emphasizing its administrative and procedural rather than technical or logistical nature.
