PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
CRITICAL POWER SYSTEM SERVICES
AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE
C.1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Navy relies on reliable electric power for its facilities, typically sourced from commercial utilities and government self-generation. Backup power is commonly provided by engine generators and battery-based uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), which are generally three-phase units ranging in size from kilowatts (kW) to megawatts (MW). Critical utilities supported by this power include environmental/mechanical systems such as heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), and fire suppression.
To meet the Navy's evolving mission requirements, continuous acquisition, installation, upgrades, maintenance, and replacement of facilities and equipment are essential. The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), located in Port Hueneme, CA, supports these demands by providing critical power solutions for the Navy and other US government agencies worldwide.
The purpose of this contract is to acquire worldwide services for critical power systems and loads, encompassing design, procurement, installation, renovation, integration, replacement, alteration, technology refresh, troubleshooting, assessments/inspections, testing, technical documentation, maintenance, and repair to support facilities globally. Services may cover all project phases, from inception, design, system installation, and training to removal and disposal. Incidental construction activities may be required at the task order level.
Work will fall under one or more of the following categories:
I. Procurement II. Design III. Installation IV. Troubleshooting, Assessment, Analysis, and Inspection V. Arc Flash, Load Flow, and Coordination Studies VI. Maintenance, Repair, and Upgrades VII Systems integration VIII. Training
