Supply of Gritted Splice Rods for 954 MCM ACSR

The contract pertains to the supply of gritted splice rods designed specifically for use with 954 MCM ACSR conductors in overhead transmission line applications, ensuring both mechanical integrity and electrical continuity at splices. These components are critical for maintaining the reliability and performance of high-voltage transmission infrastructure, particularly in demanding environmental conditions where corrosion resistance and secure mechanical bonding are essential. The product must meet stringent compatibility and performance standards to ensure seamless integration with existing ACSR conductor systems. This is a subcontract under the SBA set-aside program, classified under NAICS code 332439, indicating it targets small business participation in the manufacturing of other fabricated metal products. It is issued by the Department of Energy’s Western Upper Great Plains Region, with a posted date of August 5, 2026, and a response deadline of August 18, 2026. The place of performance and specific delivery location are not detailed, but the scope implies nationwide or regional distribution to support transmission line maintenance and upgrades. Participation requires full compliance with technical specifications for gritted splice rods and adherence to federal procurement protocols under the SBA framework.
