(a) Evaluation Factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation approach criteria:

Price – The Offeror’s quote will be evaluated for reasonable, complete, and balanced pricing.

Technical (Capability of the services offered to meet the Government’s need) – The offeror shall provide a technical document that is specific and complete in how the offeror will address all requirements. The contractor’s response must demonstrate the capability to perform all requirements and provide a detailed technical response of how all required items within SoN will be accomplished. The contractor must be able to complete all requirements within 180 calendar days after receipt of contract award, and this must be included within the offeror’s quote.

Past Performance: The Government will evaluate past performance to determine whether the offeror has demonstrated a record of satisfactory performance on recent and relevant efforts. The offeror shall submit two past performance citations. The citations shall include contract number, contract dollar value, and provide a point of contact knowledgeable of performance on the contract or any other pertinent information if these are not available. Past performance citations shall demonstrate recency (examples that are ongoing or completed within the past 5 years from issue date of this RFQ) and relevancy (examples similar in scope and complexity of the requirements listed within this SON (installation of rectifier equipment on a military or other Government installation). To be determined acceptable, both citations must demonstrate recency and relevance.

Compliance with all other RFQ requirements – The Contractor must include or meet all other requirements set forth within this RFQ to be determined as responsive.

Evaluation factors other than price when combined are approximately equal to price and are evaluated on a pass/fail basis. If any one of the Price, Technical, Past Performance, or any other requirement listed within this RFQ is not met, the offeror’s quote will be deemed technically unacceptable or noncompliant with the RFQ and will be ineligible for contract award.

(b) Options. N/A.

(c) Notice of Award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

LPTA evaluation process/steps:

1) Upon RFQ submission deadline closing, the Government will order all quotes received from the lowest price to the highest. A review of lowest priced quote will be conducted to determine if the offeror has met all listed requirements within the RFQ to be deemed responsive.

2) If all requirements within the RFQ have been met/provided, a technical evaluation will be conducted for technical acceptability. Additionally, a review of the provided past performance citations will be conducted to ensure they are recent and relevant to this requirement for acceptability.

3) If determined to be technically acceptable, and the offeror’s price is determined to be fair, reasonable, and balanced, the evaluation will end and award will be made to that offeror.

4) If the lowest priced offeror is deemed non-responsive for missing any RFQ requirements; or, if the offeror’s quote is determined to be non-technically acceptable, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated IAW steps 1-3, and this will be repeated until a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offeror is determined.

STATEMENT OF NEED

US Space Force

Rectifier/inverter system for Buckley DISA node facility Current as of 30 June 2026

1. SCOPE:

The government requires the full replacement of the rectifier/inverter system located in building 730, room 132. Power rectification is the process of converting an alternating current (AC) waveform into a direct current (DC) waveform, which is essential for powering electronic devices that require a stable, single-polarity power supply. This system hosts power feeds from commercial power, generator power and uninterruptable power supplies (batteries) to ensure steady reliable power for the DoW long haul communications.

On 26 Jun 2025 we experienced a major water main break in the mechanical room adjacent to the DISA node facility located in building 730, room 132. This resulted in significant damage to the rectifier system that supports the facility.

2. REQUIREMENT:

• The contractor shall replace the current rectifier/inverter/power distribution system, battery strings, battery spill containment pan, battery disconnects, A/C power circuits, and all necessary hardware/wiring.

• Upon project completion, the vendor shall demonstrate how the new system is operational and provide a training overview of all the components of the new system. The contractor shall turn over operator’s manuals for all components of the system.

• The contractor shall remove/dispose of all existing equipment, racks, cable trays, hardware, wiring, and construction debris.

• The contractor shall include any work needed to be subcontracted into the bid amount. Any subcontracted work is the responsibility of the contractor to schedule, manage, and fund work related to this statement of need.

• The contractor shall complete all work related to this project without interruption of power to equipment within the facility. If the power needs to be shut down, the contractor shall identify what circuits will be down and for the duration of the interruption.

3. SPECIFICATIONS:

The replacement rectifier must meet or exceed the current amp load of the existing system of 2,800 amps (200amps x 14 units). The contractor shall install batteries equivalence or better than the existing batteries (C&D Technologies MS Endur II). The quantity of existing batteries are 3 strings with 48 jars per string. Each string shall include battery disconnects equivalent or better than the existing units (Peco II, -48v 1800 amp) The system must feed new power distribution to the D/C breaker panel to include load A,B,C,D from commercial power, battery power and generator power sources. The power distribution must meet or exceed the existing unit (Lorain Power System Model 1231v1) Power must feed into the A,B,C,D,E and F sectors of the DC breaker panel. The inverter system must accommodate the existing DC breaker panels and A/C circuits within the node facility.

4. DELIVERY:

The government is asking for completion of 180 days after receipt of award, to project completion. The vendor shall provide a timeline of when all the equipment will ship to the site, they will be required to schedule the installation of the equipment in advance. Any loss of power must be coordinated with site personnel in advance. The contractor shall provide an implementation plan and anticipated project timeline.
