Emergency Electrical Materials

The Alaska Energy Authority issued RFQ 23071 to acquire a broad range of emergency‑type electrical supplies—including copper wire, insulators, clamps, connectors, splices, cut‑outs, fuse links, and two transformer models—to be stocked at its Anchorage warehouse for rapid deployment during power outages. The solicitation was open to competition, with a submission deadline of 16 Dec 2022, and the contract was ultimately awarded to three vendors: Graybar, Anixter, and T&R Electric Supply. Payment terms are net‑30 days for contracts under $500 k, with a 1.5 % monthly late‑payment interest, and a 36‑month warranty applies to the transformer units. The State retains the right to reject any or all quotes and may extend the month‑to‑month agreement with 30‑day notice. • Scope: emergency distribution‑related electrical materials (≈68 line items). • Procurement: open RFQ, full and open competition, unit‑price pricing. • Award: multiple‑vendor award (three vendors) with standard Alaska procurement code AS.36.30 compliance.
