A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
This notice is a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) posted 2026-02-13 by the Department of the Army (USACE; US Army Engineer District Walla Walla under the Northwestern Division). It authorizes a sole-source procurement of governor products and services from Emerson Process Management Power & Water Systems, Inc. The scope is for use across hydroelectric operating projects in the Walla Walla, Omaha, Seattle, and Portland Districts. As a J&A (not a competed solicitation), the immediate action for most vendors is to assess whether any future competitive follow-on or alternative-source market research could arise from this requirement.
