This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for switch gear reconditioning and preventative maintenance services. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Information & Technology at the Hines Information Technology Center is seeking to refurbish existing electrical switchgear and main circuit breakers to restore reliability and ensure uninterrupted power to its data center operations. Optional services include replacing disposable wall-mounted electrical panel breakers. The 30+ year old switchgear and breakers at the facility are well beyond their expected lifespan and have not received required preventative maintenance. Past utility power issues have also caused three emergency breaker replacements. As the data processed at the center is critical for supporting Veterans, constant power availability is essential. Interested vendors must be able to refurbish custom fabricated Square D or Siemens breakers to fit existing Westinghouse switchgear frames within the required timeframe.
