NIGP 93661: Power Supply Backup (Ups) Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93661 Power Supply Backup (UPS) Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, covers the preventative maintenance, emergency repair, and parts replacement for uninterruptible power supply systems that protect critical facility operations during power outages. State and local governments procure quarterly and annual UPS inspections, battery replacement and testing, capacitor replacement, four-hour to 24-hour emergency response services, and full parts and labor warranties across their data centers, waste-to-energy facilities, public safety complexes, radio tower infrastructure, and medical facilities. Recent solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (battery and capacitor replacement for Medicaid facilities), the City of Tampa (preventative maintenance at the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility), Waukesha County, Wisconsin (multi-location UPS and battery services), Forsyth County, Georgia (UPS unit and battery replacement at the Public Safety Complex), and Chatham County, Georgia (preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency response for radio tower UPS systems) demonstrate steady demand from state health agencies, municipalities, counties, and special-purpose facilities. Bidders typically must carry comprehensive insurance ($1,000,000 General Liability minimum), maintain manufacturer authorization for specified equipment models (Eaton, Liebert, Vertiv, APC, Toshiba), assign qualified technicians with hands-on UPS experience, and respond to emergency calls within four hours or sixty minutes depending on contract scope.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia, and Utah, with particularly active procurement from Texas state health agencies and Florida municipalities. A Texas Health and Human Services Commission ITB (HHS0018059) closed October 21, 2026 for UPS battery replacement across 656 units (Eaton 9315 and 9330, Toshiba 4200 Series, APC Symmetra PX) and preventative maintenance through August 31, 2027 with two optional renewals; the City of Tampa's McKay Bay UPS maintenance contract (26P00407, a sheltered-market Small Local Business Enterprise procurement with a $45,000 estimated value and 5 percent SLBE bid discount) re-opened in August 2026 for quarterly inspections and 24-hour emergency response; Chatham County, Georgia issued ITB 26-0065-2 (due June 19, 2026) for one-year UPS and battery maintenance across three radio tower locations with a 30 percent M/WBE participation goal; and Fairfax County, Virginia issued RFP 2000004461 (due October 16, 2026) to establish multiple electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement contracts. Contract terms typically run one to five years with optional renewals, firm pricing for the initial term with indexed or capped escalation thereafter, and pricing structures combining fixed annual fees for preventative maintenance with emergency service billed at hourly or call rates.
