Statement of Need for UPS Battery Replacement
Updated April 16, 2025
Background Location of work to be performed is 77 Forsyth St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
GSA IT Facilities Management (IDTOE) currently maintains a Service Agreement with Schneider Electric (SE), facilitated through Critical Components, Inc. (CCI), for preventive maintenance of the APC SYMMETRA PX Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) located in the Region 4 Regional Infrastructure Closet (RIC). The existing service agreement covers maintenance but excludes parts and battery replacements.
During the most recent preventive maintenance inspection, a certified technician confirmed that the existing 16 UPS batteries have reached End of Life (EOL) status.
Schneider Electric, through their authorized partner CCI, has provided a Modular Battery Replacement Service (MBRS) quote to address this critical infrastructure need.
Scope of Work
GSA requires a qualified Schneider Electric Authorized Solutions Partner to execute the following comprehensive battery replacement service:
Battery Procurement and Delivery
The selected vendor will be responsible for supplying (16) original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement batteries. This includes a detailed delivery process that involves carefully offloading batteries at the building's loading dock, using a large passenger elevator to transport the batteries to the Regional Infrastructure Closet, and meticulously unboxing and preparing the batteries for installation.
Installation Requirements
Installation must be conducted outside standard business hours to minimize operational disruption. The vendor will strictly adhere to Schneider Electric's precise installation procedures, ensuring each battery is correctly integrated into the UPS system. Following installation, a comprehensive system configuration and rigorous post-installation diagnostic checks must be performed to verify full operational integrity.
Battery Disposal
The vendor will be fully responsible for the removal and environmentally compliant disposal of the existing End of Life (EOL) batteries. This process must meet all federal, state, and local environmental regulations for battery recycling and disposal. Complete documentation of the disposal process, including recycling certificates and compliance records, must be provided to GSA upon completion of the service.
Overall Objectives
● Maintain continuous power infrastructure reliability
● Minimize potential system downtime
● Ensure environmental compliance in battery disposal
● Implement manufacturer-recommended battery replacement
Final Deliverable
A fully operational APC SYMMETRA PX UPS with new batteries, restored to manufacturer specifications, supporting critical IT infrastructure continuity.
