Solar-Powered Pumping System Supply and Integration

The contract entails the supply and integration of a fully autonomous solar-powered pumping system tailored to meet specific well specifications, ensuring reliable operation without manual intervention. The system must include solar panels, a charge controller, a battery bank if necessary for energy storage, a submersible pump, and a comprehensive control system—all designed to function seamlessly together in an off-grid environment. The solution must be compatible with existing well infrastructure and capable of sustained, unattended operation under varying environmental conditions, prioritizing durability and efficiency to support long-term water delivery needs. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under the SBA program, classified under NAICS code 335912, and is being issued by the USDA Forest Service through its CSA Southwest 6 office. Interested parties must submit responses by September 1, 2026, with no solicitation number provided. The place of performance and physical location details are unspecified, suggesting the work may occur across multiple sites under the agency’s jurisdiction, likely in remote or rural areas served by the USDA. The emphasis on autonomy and compatibility indicates that proposers must demonstrate technical expertise in renewable energy systems and water extraction technologies, with proven experience in field deployments under similar constraints.
