Request for Bids for SCADA Parts

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has issued a Request for Bids to procure SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) parts, with the solicitation number RFB-KK-466210. The project aims to acquire essential components for their SCADA systems, with a contract value estimated between 500,000 and 2 million dollars. Bidders are encouraged to participate by submitting their responses by November 12, 2025, and can contact Karl Kolbadi via email or phone for further information. The district emphasizes its commitment to promoting diverse business participation through its Business Outreach Program, which incentivizes bids from small, woman-owned, minority-owned, disabled veteran, and economically disadvantaged enterprises. These incentives include bid price reductions of up to 10 percent, capped at $25,000, designed to encourage equitable participation without affecting the actual bid prices. The contract will be governed by the Metropolitan Water District’s comprehensive general conditions, which outline contractor responsibilities such as providing quality materials and services, ensuring compliance with federal and district policies, and adhering to strict warranty, invoicing, and insurance requirements. The district also mandates strict conflict of interest disclosures to prevent any personal or financial conflicts that could influence contract performance. Overall, the solicitation reflects the district’s focus on transparent procurement practices, fostering diversity, and ensuring high standards of quality and compliance in the acquisition of SCADA parts critical for their water management infrastructure.
