Manufacturing of AUMA Actuators for Allegheny River Lock and Dam 4

The US Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District plans to award a sole source purchase order to AUMA Actuators, Inc. for the manufacture and delivery of sixteen new multi-turn electric actuators to replace existing units at Allegheny River Lock and Dam Four. These actuators, specified as SAR10.2/AC01.2 models, must functionally match the original AUMA SA10.1-108 units used to operate the filling and emptying valves in the lock’s single chamber. The procurement is justified under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.102(a) due to the requirement for exact functional equivalence and the absence of viable alternatives, and a full justification and approval document has been prepared in accordance with agency protocols. This action is non-competitive and does not invite bids or offers, but interested parties may submit capability statements by 27 April 2026 to demonstrate their ability to meet the technical requirements. The solicitation number is W911WN26Q1BN0, classified under NAICS code 333995 for other commercial and service machinery manufacturing, and the posting is issued in compliance with RFO 5.101 and RFO 5.201 to fulfill public notice obligations. Responses for capability statements must include the company name, UEI number, CAGE code, point of contact details, and a detailed description of how the bidder can satisfy the technical specifications. The point of contact for submissions is Isaiah Johnson, reachable via email and phone, with all submissions due no later than 27 April 2026. The government retains full discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award based on the responses received, and the contract will be performed under the jurisdiction of the Pittsburgh District office located in Pennsylvania.
