Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Procedures - MPT to ≤ $AT)
This is a Justification for Sole Source document for federal procurement, Purchase Request/Document Number 1301348760.
The acquisition seeks system support services and replacement components for a Vertiv/Liebert Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system supporting Commander, Undersea Surveillance. The contractor is Vertiv Corporation (CAGE Code 1EDC2). The period of performance runs from 07 September 2026 through 06 September 2027. The required supplies include FANS NXL250-400WSTC, ALL AC-DC CAPS NXL250-400WSTC, and UPS unit power down and up services. Service scope includes two primary work packages: (1) Fan/Blower Replacement Service encompassing inspection, verification, cleaning, connection checks, torque verification, disposal, and system performance review; and (2) DC Capacitor and Fan Replacement Service involving component verification, cleaning, electrical measurements before and after replacement, thermal scanning, and system review.
The justification for sole source procurement centers on three primary factors: Vertiv Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer and sole authorized service provider for the Liebert power product line, ensuring equipment integrity and long-term reliability through genuine OEM parts; the new capacitors and fans must be identical to original components to maintain form, fit, and function compatibility with the existing UPS system's proprietary electrical connection points and internal wiring harnesses; and Vertiv's Customer Engineers are the only authorized, factory-trained service providers with exclusive access to proprietary service tools and software (PPvis, Paramset, WinSVT) necessary for diagnosis, configuration, optimization, and firmware updates. The document certifies that no substitutes are available and competition is precluded under FAR 12.102(a).

Period of Performance: 07 September 2026 06 September 2027
In conclusion, the requested supplies or services represent the minimum requirements of the government.
Describe in detail why only this source(s) can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.
For example, what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?) The following are provided as potential examples of reasons to support soliciting from a single source. If these items do not apply, the check-a-blocks may be deleted from the document. The user should include the appropriate rationale for the selected item(s).
Modify accordingly for brand name justifications or for other circumstances of the contract action that deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency).
Vertiv Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (Manufacturer) and the sole authorized service provider for the Liebert power product line, including the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), static transfer switches, and power distribution units. To maintain equipment integrity, performance, and long-term reliability, the system requires genuine OEM parts (capacitors and fans). Utilizing a non-OEM source would risk hardware incompatibility, and compromise the engineering specifications of the critical power infrastructure.
The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.
To meet the requirement for compatibility in form, fit, and function, the new capacitors and fans must be identical to the original components within the existing Vertiv/Liebert UPS system to ensure seamless physical integration and operational safety. These parts are engineered to meet the exact dimensions and
Source Selection Information See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 proprietary electrical connection points of the UPS cabinet, allowing them to interface directly with internal wiring harnesses and logic boards without modification. Because these components perform critical voltage-filtering and thermal-management roles, utilizing non-OEM parts would risk hardware incompatibility, and potentially trigger system-wide faults. This integration is essential to maintaining the technical integrity of the system and ensures that all replacement hardware remains fully compatible with the diagnostic monitoring and specialized maintenance already being performed by Vertiv under contract N0018924P0220.
A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.
