Justification for Brand Name – Eaton UPS Maintenance Services

This is a Justification for Brand Name document (Purchase Request 1301346208) submitted by the United States Naval Observatory for procurement of replacement parts and maintenance services restricted to Eaton Corporation (Cage Code 31795) on a non-competitive basis under FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement covers preventative maintenance and replacement Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) batteries and capacitors for four Eaton Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units providing backup power to the Naval Observatory. The specific UPS units requiring service are: Serial #EQ211ZBA02 (Model #9315-100-160), Serial #EQ201ZBA03 (Model #9315-100-160), Serial #EY194CAA06 (Model #9390-100-120), and Serial #ED492CAB08 (Model #9390-40-80). Required OEM replacement batteries include specific part numbers for each model, and required capacitor upgrades include AC Oil Filled Capacitor and DC Electrolytic Capacitor components tailored to each unit. The performance period extends for one 12-month base year (5 May 2026 – 4 May 2027) plus four one-year option periods through 4 May 2031. The justification certifies that only Eaton Corporation can furnish these requirements due to compatibility requirements, direct replacement specifications, and the specialized nature of components, which prevents sourcing from alternative manufacturers without risking mission damage or loss.
