About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation for the replacement of Eaton-brand uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and batteries at a Navy facility, as well as preventative maintenance services for the new systems. The solicitation seeks a firm fixed-price contract to procure new Eaton UPS equipment specified in the performance work statement to replace end-of-life systems at the Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command in Suffolk, Virginia. The period of performance is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2024, with biannual preventative maintenance inspections for both the new UPS systems and lithium batteries over the base year and two option years. Brand-name justification is provided for the procurement of Eaton products only, with no alternatives to be considered for award.
Questions from vendors and the government's responses clarify that security restrictions prevent the provision of photos but diagrams are included, describe the physical access to rooms, and confirm that changes to the bill of materials will be handled case-by-case with contracting officer approval required.

The following are questions received in response to the solicitation, and the government’s response to each of them.
Q: Is there any flexibility to allow new vendors to compete for this solicitation?
A: No. Please refer to the Brand Name Justification attached to the SAM solicitation post. At this time, there are no plans to allow for alternative brands.
Q: Can you please provide pictures of the current equipment (front, back, side, name plate) along with current hook up orientation?
A: Pictures cannot be provided due to security restrictions in place at NCDOC's building. However, a diagram of current floorplans has been added to the PWS. Current equipment are Eaton-brand UPS systems and batteries.
Q: Can you provide pictures of the HVAC ducting that needs to be replaced and/or remanufactured and refurbished?
A: Pictures cannot be provided due to security restrictions in place at NCDOC's building. However, the NCDOC
Technical POC stated that, based off of Diagram A provided in the PWS, HVAC work will involve adding new duct work off of the existing duct work in room 2A over to room 3A.
Q: Can you provide how the room is accessed (i.e. door dimensions, elevator dimensions, loading dock receiving requirements)?
A: All rooms are accessible via 10' double doors. No elevators will be used. Explanations of how the rooms are reached has been added to the PWS. Dimensions of the loading deck are not available.
Q: For the PM services requested is Base period the first 90 days of service and would this requirement be covered by the standard UPS start up service? Is the Option I period then the first year after the initial 90-day period and the
Option II period the second year after that initial 90-day period?
A: For the PM services, the Base period and the Option periods will all be one year each. The Base period will begin as soon as the new UPS systems have completed installation and will last one year. Then the Option I and Option II periods, should the government choose to exercise those options, will begin as soon as the Base period and Option I period ends, respectfully, and will each last one year. PM services are desired from the moment the UPS systems have completed installation due to the included warranties not providing the full coverage that the requested PM services will.
Q: Should there be any changes to the Bill of Materials (BoM), due to EOS/EOL items, would your team accept these changes?
A: Changes to the Bill of Materials after award will be handled on a case-by-case basis. All changes must be approved by the Contracting Officer.
Q: Eaton recommends two UPS PMs and one Lithium Battery PM per year. Should this schedule be followed, or should two PMs be provided for both the UPS and the Lithium Battery per year?
A: In accordance with the PM services requested in the PWS, we would like to stick with the bi-annual inspections of both the UPS and batteries per year.
