How to bid on governor control programming for the Army at Libby Dam

What the Army is buying

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants turnkey governor control programming to support replacing pressure switches with pressure transducers on five units at Libby Dam in Montana. The work includes PLC and HMI updates and commissioning support.

Work will be performed remotely and on site as units become available, from contract award through August 30, 2027. The contractor is responsible for understanding the existing system logic and delivering a functional updated programming solution without technical assistance from the Government.

Key dates and the quote deadline

The opportunity was published October 20, 2026. Quotes are due November 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.

The Army requires an email quote package with a firm-fixed price for every contract line item. Incomplete quotes will be ineligible for award. Questions must be emailed no later than five working days before the quote deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits firms with relevant experience in governor controls, PLC and HMI development, and commissioning for equipment such as hydroelectric generating units. A vendor should be prepared to take responsibility for understanding and updating an existing control system.

The work combines remote programming at the contractor’s facility with on-site commissioning at Libby Dam in Libby, Montana.

Prepare a complete, practical quote

Review the solicitation and all contract line items, then confirm that your firm-fixed-price quote covers each one. Check the package for missing information before sending it, since incomplete quotes are ineligible for award.

Explain how your team will understand the existing system logic and deliver the programming, PLC/HMI updates, and commissioning support across remote and on-site work. Plan around the rolling outages and the contract period through August 30, 2027.

Send questions by email at least five working days before the deadline so there is time for the Government to publish amendments on SAM.gov. Check for amendments and account for any that affect your response.
