Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Transformer Replacements ? Buildings 3, 5, 71, 101 and Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOVCD) Feasibility Study, Washington, D.C.

The Department of Defense, through W2SD Endist Baltimore, is seeking Architect/Engineering services for the replacement of electrical transformers and switchgears at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The project specifically targets Buildings 3, 5, 71, and 101, the latter of which supports critical research divisions including Plasma Physics, Acoustics, and Material Science and Technology. This effort is part of a broader multi-year campus distribution upgrade intended to mitigate the risk of catastrophic power failure. The necessity for these replacements stems from significant corrosion of the existing equipment housing, which has allowed rainwater to infiltrate and cause electrical shorts. To prevent temporary power losses across the NRL-DC campus, the government is awarding a task order under solicitation W912DR25R15TB. The project falls under NAICS code 541330 and is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
