SAM?SAS?SAC BASLER ECS 2100 EXCITER RETROFIT

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting information to upgrade and retrofit Basler ECS-2100 excitation control systems at four hydropower facilities within the Savannah, Mobile, and Charleston Districts, with an expanded scope now including full replacement of Prime Power/Siemens EX-1 systems at select sites. The project encompasses the full lifecycle of system modernization including engineering, design, manufacturing, factory testing, demolition of obsolete hardware, installation, integration, commissioning, operator training, and comprehensive documentation. The primary goals are to eliminate outdated digital control components, enhance system reliability and maintainability, improve diagnostic capabilities, and establish a standardized excitation technology platform across multiple powerhouses to streamline future operations and support. All work must align with Army Corps specifications and be executed at the designated hydropower locations without disruption to ongoing operations. The solicitation, identified as W9127826RA071 and posted on May 11, 2026, is categorized as a sources sought notice with a response deadline of May 26, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 237130 for Water Resource Ecosystems and Rehabilitation and is managed by the Mobile District of the Department of Defense. Proposals must be submitted electronically through SAM.gov, with primary point of contact Jaime Brown available via email and phone for inquiries. Performance locations span multiple states and facilities under the jurisdiction of the three districts involved, with no single physical address specified for work performance. This initiative reflects a strategic push toward modernizing aging hydropower infrastructure to ensure sustained efficiency and regulatory compliance for federal power generation assets.
