The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, through its Lower Colorado Dams Office in Boulder City, Nevada, has awarded a sole-source contract under FAR 13.106-1(b) to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) for the procurement of 30 custom-configured SEL-735 revenue meters for deployment at Hoover Dam. The contract, solicited under 140R3026Q0047 and posted on June 12, 2026, has a total estimated value of $321,944.70, derived from a unit price of $10,731.49 per meter, inclusive of essential hardware and software options such as a color touchscreen, USB-C front port, IEC 61850 communications with GOOSE and MMS protocols, Form 5 metering configuration, advanced power quality recording, and the SEL-5705 Synchrowave Reports and DMA software bundle. This acquisition is non-competitive due to the technical exclusivity of the SEL-735, which is mandated for seamless integration with the Western Area Power Administration’s (WAPA) existing billing infrastructure and grid interconnection requirements under CAISO, making any alternative device incompatible. The meters will replace aging SEL-734 units and serve as primary billing devices for electricity generation at Hoover Dam, with all billing data transmitted electronically from the meters directly to WAPA systems. The place of performance is Boulder City, NV, and acceptance responsibility rests with the government, though formal inspection protocols and locations are not detailed. Packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements are minimally specified, limited only to compliance with ANSI standards for front panel nameplates and optional barcoding without defined symbology or durability criteria. No standard FAR clauses, inspection checklists, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or payment details are included in the documentation, and the contracting officer information is not named, though correspondence is directed to Virginia Toledo at the office. SEL is confirmed as a large business registered in SAM, with no socioeconomic set-asides or subcontracting plan requirements indicated. The contract is funded by revenue generated from WAPA electricity sales, though no specific appropriation account or treasury symbols are provided.
