Sources Sought Notice for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories SEL-2741

Notice of intent to use a brand name product. The Department of Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), Pacific is conducting market research in accordance with FAR Part 10 to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing ruggedized, switchgear mounted, ethernet switches that have equal performance and listing/approval requirements as the SEL-2741 that is manufactured by Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. Responses from third-party distributors, pass through resellers, or supply brokers who do not directly own the production line or manufacturing rights to a qualified equivalent product will not be considered responsive to this market survey. Fiscal Year 2027 SIOP PROJECT P-8026 ELECTRICAL BACKBONE located at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, requires that the ruggedized, switchgear mounted, ethernet switches demonstrate the following salient characteristics: Industrial Ethernet Communications � Provide a managed industrial Ethernet switch to support reliable communications between protective relays, automation controllers, SCADA systems, meters, and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) within the substation network. Network Management and Security � Support managed network functions including virtual local area networks (VLANs), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), port monitoring, traffic prioritization, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and user authentication to ensure secure, resilient, and maintainable communications infrastructure. Time Synchronization � Support Precision Time Protocol (PTP) transparent clock functionality, Network Time Protocol (NTP), and other time synchronization methods to provide accurate event time-stamping and coordination of protection and automation devices. Network Monitoring � Continuously monitor switch status, communications links, network performance, and diagnostic information. Generate alarms and event logs for communication failures,...
