POPLAR WILLISTON PROJECT

The Department of Energy, through the Western Area Power Administration, is soliciting a fixed-price contract for the FY27 Transmission Hardware Replacement for the Poplar-Williston project. This total small business set-aside requires the procurement and delivery of specific transmission hardware, including preformed line splices, spiral vibration dampers, vibration dampers for 795KV, preformed armor rods, flexible grounding braids, and suspension clamps. All equipment must be delivered to the WAPA Montana Maintenance facility in Fort Peck, MT, and the contractor is responsible for unloading the hardware to a ground level pad within the substation. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) solution, with a sequential review process that prioritizes the lowest-priced quotation for technical acceptability. Offerors must provide a completed SF1449, product literature, country of origin, and delivery lead times. Key requirements include adherence to Buy America and TAA compliance, and the use of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System for electronic invoicing. Deliveries must occur Monday through Thursday between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with a mandatory shipment notice provided seven work days in advance. Risk of loss remains with the contractor until the equipment is accepted at the destination by the Contracting Officer.
