SCADA Systems Maintenance

Why This Matters

This is an explicitly SDVOSB set-aside Sources Sought for SCADA Systems Maintenance under NAICS 541512 at the International Boundary and Water Commission — a niche federal agency managing critical water infrastructure along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Sources Sought phase means the window to shape requirements and establish incumbent awareness is open RIGHT NOW before an RFP drops. SDVOSBs with ICS/SCADA, OT security, or water/energy infrastructure maintenance experience should respond immediately to get on the CO's radar.

Recommended Action

Email Suzette Smith at suzette.smith@ibwc.gov this week with a capability statement highlighting SCADA/ICS maintenance experience, relevant NAICS 541512 past performance, and SDVOSB certification status — reference solicitation FY26R1221002 and request any available scope details or site visit information.

Risk Assessment

IBWC is a small, specialized agency with likely few existing SDVOSB relationships, meaning an incumbent large business or non-SDVOSB may be transitioning out — verify whether this is a recompete with an entrenched incumbent who could protest or challenge the set-aside. SCADA maintenance for border water infrastructure may require specialized OT/ICS certifications and bilingual (English/Spanish) field capability that many SDVOSBs lack.
