The Department of Defense is seeking information about potential sources for the procurement of electric meters, specifically Shark 270 models, for use in Hawaii. This procurement is suitable for small businesses that specialize in the manufacture of electric measuring and testing instruments (NAICS code 334515). As a Sources Sought notice, this is a non-binding inquiry that allows interested parties to provide information about their capabilities, rather than a formal solicitation requiring a bid or proposal.

Description
Notice of intent to use a brand name product. The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Pacific (NAVFAC Pacific) is performing a market survey to determine if other potential sources of supply can provide an electric meter that has equal performance requirements as the Shark 270 electric meter, manufactured by Electro Industries/Gauge Tech, 1800 Shames Drive Westbury, NY 11590.
Fiscal Year 2027 SIOP PROJECT P-8026 ELECTRICAL BACKBONE Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, requires the following characteristics.
Provide protection system relay with the following capabilities:
Communications – Fully communicate with meters manufactured by Electro Industries/Gauge Tech.
Programming – Configured/programed with existing Electro Industries/Gauge Tech Shark 270 Electric Meter software.
Although the Modbus/TCP open protocol is the chosen communications protocol for many meter manufacturers, it only allows for different manufacturers’ equipment to share basic point data. However, the Modbus/TCP open protocol does not allow for configuration and programming functions to take place between different manufacturers’ meters.
