    The document outlines the technical specifications for an electrical system required under a government RFP. It details essential components, including compliance with UL standards, a main bus rated for 2000A, and specifications for voltage (277V/480V, 3-phase). Key features include a fully rated neutral bus, a surge protective device (SPD) rated at 240 kA, and a main breaker with protective functionality covering long time, short time, instantaneous, and ground fault tripping. The document also specifies a maintenance mode switch for arc flash reduction and includes dimensions for the enclosure (91.5” height, 72” width, and 24” depth). It suggests the manufacturer Square D QED-2 for the required system. This document serves as a crucial guideline for potential bidders in understanding the technical requirements and specifications necessary to respond to the RFP effectively, ensuring compliance and performance in the proposed projects.
    SATPC0037271 Tab 06 RDSS..pdf
    The document is a Recommendation and Determination issued by the NASA Shared Services Center regarding the procurement of a Switchboard from Mayer Electric Supply Company Inc. The agency plans to negotiate a sole-source contract due to the necessity of this specific equipment for test support, emphasizing that only this vendor can fulfill the requirements within the needed timeline. With an estimated delivery lead time of 12 weeks after receipt of order (ARO), the urgency is underscored by the deadline of June 1, 2025, for installation; failure to meet this could lead to significant test delays and increased costs. Alternative suppliers, such as Square D, would result in lead times exceeding 50 weeks, making competition impractical. The action falls under exceptions outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), allowing for non-competitive negotiations when only one source is available. The document highlights the importance of timely procurement to avoid adverse impacts on the government's testing schedule and budget.
