Relay Switch

The solicitation Z4952 for two units of the Electroswitch Series 24 double-throw relay switch with part number ELECTROS24203B is a tightly specified, single-source procurement by Nashville Electric Service, a municipal utility in Tennessee. The switch must conform precisely to the technical requirements outlined in NES Standard Drawing C12829, featuring no off position, stops at positions 1 and 7, an oval shank grip, maintained contacts, three decks, and break-before-make functionality, designed for installation on a 1/8-inch panel. No alternative brands or substitutions are permitted, and compliance with the drawing is mandatory for acceptance. Delivery is required to the Nashville Electric Service facility at 1214 Church St., Nashville, TN, with bid submission deadlines set for August 14, 2026, through the online Bid Center system. Delivery timing will be considered during award evaluation, though no formal delivery schedule, FOB terms, or performance period is specified. The procurement is structured as a simplified acquisition under NAICS code 335314 with no formal contract clauses, representations, certifications, or socioeconomic requirements imposed on offerors. There are no stated evaluation factors beyond technical conformity and delivery capability, suggesting an LPTA approach, though no scoring weights or adjectival ratings are provided. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria beyond the drawing, or invoicing procedures are detailed, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR is named—though Shanna Faulk serves as the procurement contact. The contract value, unit pricing, and extended cost are not disclosed, making the total contract value unknown. The absence of FAR clauses, federal accounting data, or military standards indicates a local utility procurement operating under simplified procedures, with all technical specifications and quality control dependent solely on NES Drawing C12829 and the approved part number.
