    Description

    The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, has issued a solicitation for a specialized thermoelectric generator to power its Yakima Field Office's Management Information System. This generator, a Global Power Technologies Model 5050L Thermoelectric Generator, must meet precise specifications. It should run on propane, consume minimal fuel, and operate efficiently in varied environmental conditions, including unsheltered locations.

    The generator's key attributes include automatic spark ignition and fuel shut-off, a low voltage alarm, and reverse current protection. It should be able to adjust its electrical output to match 12-, 24-, or 48-volt systems and is required to deliver 50 watts of power at 14 volts. The Bureau seeks a single unit, which must be delivered by the end of November 2024.

    This procurement process is time-sensitive, aiming to ensure continuous power for the Field Office's critical operations during the winter months. The estimated cost is not disclosed, but the Bureau intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract, with offers due by 25th July 2024. Vendors must submit offers and manufacturer specification sheets to the provided email address and acknowledge receipt of any amendments.

    The Bureau will select a vendor based on their ability to provide the specified generator model at a fair and reasonable price. For efficiency, the procurement is being conducted as a single-source acquisition. However, the Bureau will consider competitive quotes from domestic small businesses for the named brand.

    Any queries regarding this opportunity should be directed to Donald Richer at the Grand Coulee Power Office.

    Determination_to_solicit_from_a_single_source_Generator_0001.pdf
    The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, intends to procure a Thermoelectric Propane Generator from Global Power Technologies to support its Yakima Field Office. The specific model sought is the Global Power Technologies Model 5050L Thermoelectric Generator, capable of producing 50 watts while efficiently burning just 1.9 gallons of propane daily. This generator will provide electricity for the Bureau's Management Information System, enabling data collection and transmission for effective water management in the Yakima River Basin. The total estimated cost is not disclosed, but the purchase will be made through a firm-fixed-price contract, with a delivery schedule of 8 weeks after receipt of the order. Market research justifies the single-source procurement, as no other thermoelectric generators meet the wattage requirements, and no domestic manufacturers were found. The fair and reasonable price determination will be based on competitive quotes received from domestic small business vendors for the specified brand-name product. This procurement is time-sensitive, reflecting the urgency of ensuring continuous power for the Bureau's remote site operations during the winter months.
