US-FED-00000399722 - H--FLEX MODULAR SF6 ANALYZER - Deadline November 13,2026

Issued on November 10, 2026The Western Area Power Administration, Upper Great Plains (UGP), intends to acquire, on a sole–source basis, a GasQuip Flex Modular SF6 Analyzer for the South Dakota Maintenance Office to support its missions. The resulting procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12.WAPA requires continuous, uninterrupted testing of high–voltage sulfur hexafluoride (SF) and emerging eco–efficient dielectric gas mixtures (such as N/SF blends) to safeguard grid reliability and regulatory compliance; market research indicates only the GasQuip FLEX satisfies all mission requirements. Unlike conventional analyzers with fixed sensor manifolds that require a full–chassis return to the OEM for mandatory annual calibrationcreating 2– to 3–month operational testing blind spots or redundant backup acquisitionsthe GasQuip FLEX uses proprietary, pre–calibrated modular sensors that can be field–swapped in under 60 seconds without taking the primary diagnostic unit out of service. Additionally, its modular multi–bay chassis accommodates future eco–gas modules within existing hardware to eliminate future capital obsolescence costs, while its integrated active hose evacuation function completely removes toxic decomposition byproducts (e.g., SO) and ambient moisture between test points to eliminate cross–contamination and prevent false hazard alerts without wasting insulating gas.THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.Capability statements must be received within three calendar days of this notice and should include documentation demonstrating the ability to meet the Government`s requirements.The Government reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to compete this requirement based on the responses received.Questions concerning this notice may be directed to the Contract Officer, Irma Suryaty, at [email? redacted].
