The work includes on-site verification at all three locations, development of detailed electrical schematics and layouts, component selection, factory testing, documentation, and delivery within 240 calendar days of contract award. All panels must integrate seamlessly with current wiring and remote gate-control systems without modification. Interested small businesses must respond by August 20, 2026, with a capability statement confirming their size under NAICS 335314 (750-employee small business standard), U.S. Small Business Administration status, intent to bid if a solicitation issues, and ability to meet all technical and schedule requirements. Respondents must verify experience with similar industrial control panels, provide an example of a comparable past project, confirm UL 508A fabrication capability with the file number, attest to field verification capacity at the listed sites, demonstrate experience with 480 VAC systems, and affirm the feasibility of the delivery timeline. Responses must be sent electronically to Lisa Bisnette with the exact subject line and include company details such as UEI, CAGE code, and business size certification. This notice is strictly for market research and does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract, nor will respondents be reimbursed for response preparation costs.
