Wilson Lock, Wire Saws and Components Purchase

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through its W072 Endist Nashville office, is soliciting a Firm-Fixed Price supply contract for a complete hydraulic diamond wire saw system and associated accessories to support the Wilson Main Lock Stoplog Liner Repair Project. The solicitation, numbered W912P526QA028, is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 and is designated under NAICS code 332216, restricting eligibility to small businesses. The equipment must include a 40HP CP40EXL hydraulic power unit, a WS25 wire saw assembly, control station components, feed hoses, rigging hardware, diamond wire, crimping tools, and all necessary operational accessories—all of which must be new, unused, defect-free, and fully interoperable with the Government’s existing Diamond Products CP40EXL and WS25 systems. Delivery is required no later than February 1, 2027, to the Tennessee River Operations Center in Florence, Alabama, with FOB Destination terms placing transportation responsibility and risk on the contractor. The solicitation mandates strict compatibility with existing infrastructure, justifying the use of a brand-name specification under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) due to the uniqueness of the system interface requirements. Proposals must be submitted via email to the designated points of contact by July 27, 2026, and must include a completed SF 1449 form and a detailed price schedule. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, prioritizing full compliance with technical and administrative requirements, acceptable past performance, and the lowest evaluated price. Contractors must affirm their small business status, provide Unique Entity Identifiers, and comply with mandatory FAR and DFARS clauses including cybersecurity safeguards (DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020), Buy American provisions, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, child labor controls, trafficking in persons, and subcontractor accountability. The Government will conduct final acceptance at the delivery site, requiring full operational readiness, conformity to specifications, and submission of Certificates of Compliance. All equipment must meet heavy-duty performance standards for underwater and wet-cut applications, with no alternative products permitted due to system-specific integration needs. The absence of pricing data in the solicitation indicates the final contract value will be determined by
