    NASA Kennedy Space Center is seeking capability statements for the LC39 Area Power Duct Bank Replacement project (PCN: 100308). This project addresses the deteriorated power distribution system in the LC-39 area, specifically replacing "Orangeburg" pipes that have collapsed, hindering feeder cable replacement and leading to precarious power reliability. The objective is to mitigate deficiencies by replacing aged Medium Voltage (MV) feeders, increasing capacity, and enhancing power reliability through a robust electrical duct bank system. The scope includes designing, procuring, and installing new underground duct banks, manholes, and replacing existing MV feeders along Saturn Causeway and between Switching Station 900 and Pad B. The project also involves upgrades to the C-5 Power Distribution Equipment. Firms must be experienced Design-Build entities in large electrical projects, with the NAICS code 237130 and a small business size standard of $45.0 million. Responses are due by September 26, 2025, and should detail company information, financial capability, and relevant Design-Build experience for projects around $100M. The work must accommodate an operational spaceport with minimal downtime.

    NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for the LC39 Area Power Duct Bank Replacement project (PCN: 100308). The agency seeks capability statements from various contractors, including small and minority businesses, to gauge interest and subcontracting opportunities related to this Design-Build project. The existing power distribution system, constructed in the 1960s, is significantly deteriorated, primarily due to the use of ‘Orangeburg’ pipes, which have compromised the capacity to maintain feeder cables. The project aims to replace aged duct banks, enhance power capacity, and ensure reliability of the electrical system for critical facilities serving NASA missions. Key elements include installing approximately 15,000 feet of new underground duct bank and replacing three MV feeders. Work will be conducted with minimal disruption to ongoing operations, necessitating detailed phasing of the activities. Interested firms must submit a capability statement that demonstrates relevant experience and financial capability by February 14, 2025. Importantly, access to project documents requires certification through the Defense Logistics Agency. This notice emphasizes the strategic importance of upgrading the power distribution system at KSC for successful future operations.
