Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, And Protectors

PSC Category 5920 encompasses fuses, arrestors, absorbers, and electrical protection devices designed to manage electrical surge, overvoltage, and energy absorption in various technological and infrastructure applications. These components are critical for protecting electrical systems, electronic equipment, and sensitive infrastructure from power fluctuations and electrical surges. The product range includes surge protectors, plug strips with surge protection, lightning arresters, and specialized electrical safety devices across multiple voltage and amperage specifications.

Recent federal contract awards under PSC 5920 demonstrate a diverse range of procurement activities primarily from the Naval Supply Systems Command and federal agencies like FEMA and GSA. Awards typically range from small purchases around $20-$500, with most contracts being firm fixed price and having performance periods of approximately one year. The majority of awards are for surge protectors, electrical surge arresters, and overvoltage absorbers, with multiple contract types including Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) and purchase orders. Most awards are not set aside for specific business types, though some opportunities are designated for small businesses or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.

Federal contract opportunities in this PSC category reveal solicitations from various agencies including the Department of the Navy, Veterans Affairs, and the Federal Aviation Administration. The opportunities seek surge protection devices for diverse applications such as national airspace systems, medical facility infrastructure, and military equipment. Typical requirements include specific technical specifications like energy absorption ratings, clamping voltage thresholds, and compliance with military or industry standards. Performance locations are geographically diverse, with opportunities covering facilities in locations like Massachusetts, Atlanta, and various naval installations.
