Notice of Intent for Stamford Hurricane Barrier – Control Systems Replacement – Rockwell Automation Under the authority of RFO 6.103-1, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, the purchase and installation of the control system hardware and proprietary programming software to Rockwell Automation for the upcoming Stamford Hurricane Barrier Control System Replacement project.
The Stamford Hurricane Barrier is a critical life-safety public infrastructure asset providing immediate flood and storm protection to the region.
Specifying Rockwell Automation is essential to the Government's requirement for the following reasons: USACE New England District (NAE) possesses exclusive, in-house engineering expertise in Rockwell Automation platforms.
By standardizing Rockwell, NAE’s in-house staff will perform the system programming, installation oversight, and final commissioning at a direct labor cost of $0 to the contract.
Procuring a non-Rockwell system would force the Government to procure external, specialized contractor integration services and purchase redundant diagnostic hardware/software and retraining of NAE personnel.
The barrier must be activated at a moment's notice during severe weather events.
Currently, NAE’s in-house Rockwell experts provide immediate, 24/7 emergency troubleshooting.
Utilizing a different platform would render the Government entirely dependent on external contractors for emergency support, introducing an unacceptable delay in emergency response times during critical storm events.
Submission of Capabilities: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS OR A SOLICITATION.
A solicitation will be issued at a later date.
However, any firm that believes it can provide an alternative control system platform...
Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
