- Description
- This is a sources sought synopsis for acquisition planning purposes only. No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the technical, administrative, management, and financial capability of such offerors to perform this type of work. The capability statements will be used to determine appropriate procurement strategy, in particular whether a set-aside or an alternate procurement strategy is warranted. The Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region has a requirement for turbine overhauls that require new seal rings, ranging in size from 99" to 188" in diameter. The seal rings will be installed on an 82,000 horsepower hydroelectric Francis type turbine and will have running clearances no greater than 0.045" radial between the rotating and stationary seal rings. Past seal ring replacements utilized nickel-aluminum bronze paired against austenitic stainless steels such as CF8/304L. Wear rates observed using these materials were excessive, primarily on the aluminum bronze rings. Nitronic 60 stainless, with excellent mechanical properties, is now being used in place of the aluminum bronze to extend the life of the turbine seal rings and improving the long-term efficiency of the turbines at Hoover Dam. All interested vendors must demonstrate experience in the fabrication of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) seal rings either by centrifugal casting or ring roll forging long-term efficiency of the turbines. This acquisition, when announced, will be conducted under North American Industry Classificaiton system (NAICS) Code 331513 Steel Foundries (except Investment), size standard of 500 employees.
