SOURCES SOUGHT FOR ALLEN BRADLEY PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PCL)

The U.S. Navy’s NAVFAC Hawaii is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to identify qualified vendors that can supply a programmable logic controller (PLC) system—including hardware, I/O modules, and the Studio 5000 software suite—that meets or exceeds the capabilities, cybersecurity posture, and network integration of Rockwell Automation’s Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix 5580 platform. The solicitation outlines detailed technical specifications for modular, redundant, microprocessor‑based PLCs, power supplies, communications modules, distributed I/O, and associated diagnostics, environmental tolerances, and safety features. Vendors are asked to submit technical data, company information, and a point‑of‑contact in PDF format by the deadline. This effort will determine whether an “or‑equal” commercial solution exists or if a sole‑source award under FAR 6.302‑1 will be required. • Required product: PLC, I/O modules, power supplies, communications hardware, and Studio 5000 programming environment. • Must meet stringent cybersecurity, redundancy, and environmental specifications (Class A, NEMA/IEEE standards, 32‑122 °F operating range). • Modular, field‑expandable design with hot‑swap capability and RIUP. • Redundant primary/secondary CPU architecture with automatic switchover. • Submission deadline: 11 Sept 2026, 12:00 p.m. HST; responses must be PDF, 11‑point Times New Roman or larger. • No cost reimbursement; all submitted information becomes government property.
