    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), is seeking to procure services from Emerson Electric Company for on-site commissioning, programming, training, and troubleshooting of American Governor-brand governors across its four Northwestern Division districts. This procurement is justified as a sole source contract due to Emerson's ownership of proprietary software and equipment information, which is essential for maintaining reliable hydroelectric generator control systems. The total estimated cost for this five-year contract is approximately $2.17 million, and the urgency of this procurement is underscored by the risks associated with potential system failures and increased costs if alternative sources were pursued. Interested parties can contact Sara Edwards at sara.edwards@usace.army.mil or Dustin J. Smith at dustin.j.smith@usace.army.mil for further information.

    Class JA Emerson American Governor Sole Source Justification Draft.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) seeks class justification and approval to procure services from Emerson Electric Company for on-site commissioning, programming, training, and troubleshooting of American Governor-brand governors across its four Northwestern Division districts. The justification allows for other than full and open competition for a five-year term, estimating total costs at approximately $2.17 million based on prior contracts and anticipated needs. Emerson, which acquired the American Governor Company, is the sole source able to provide essential proprietary services due to its ownership of relevant software and equipment information. Individual approvals for 15 years have led to inefficiencies; thus, a class J&A aims to streamline the procurement process. The authority cited includes FAR regulations allowing non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists. Contracting officers emphasize that failure to contract with Emerson could lead to significant risks, including increased costs, compatibility issues, and potential system failures. The urgency of maintaining reliable hydroelectric generator control systems underlines the necessity of this procurement strategy.
