Description

The Western Area Power Administration, Upper Great Plains Region, intends to purchase relays for use in our Digital Computer Aided Drafting (DCAD) System. The Government intends to acquire the relays from one source of supply under the authority of 41 U.S.C.253( c)(1). The relays are manufactured by Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Pullman, WA, and the part numbers are as follows: SEL0311C01H2425461 (four each) SEL035161H42546X1 (five each) We are not aware of other relays that meet the required amp rating and communication protocol provided by the identified relays. In addition, the use of other manufactured relays, should they be identified, would require reconfiguration of our current DCAD System at significant cost.
