N0025327Q7001 UPS Limited Source Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Limited Source/Brand Name procurement document for Procurement Requisition (PR) 1301325935, valued between $10K and $250K, issued by Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport. The procurement is restricted to Eaton Corporation as the sole source manufacturer, with competition limited to authorized Eaton distributors and certified service partners.

The project involves removal of an existing Eaton Powerware 9390 UPS unit and installation of a new Eaton 93PM UPS head unit, batteries, and breakers in Building 12 at NUWC Keyport to provide reliable backup power to network infrastructure during power interruptions. The Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) includes replacement of aging internal components with Eaton OEM parts, firmware updates, and system recalibration by OEM-certified technicians. Key line items include: UPS equipment and accessories with unit price of $82,063 (quantity 1), battery replacement at $41,450 per unit (quantity 2), and freight at zero cost (FOB shipping). The justification cites substantial cost savings and avoidance of duplication through executing the SLEP rather than procuring a comparable new UPS unit, as well as compatibility and safety requirements unique to the proprietary Eaton 9390 system. Third-party components are incompatible with existing Eaton logic boards, capacitors, firmware, and diagnostic software, and would void safety certifications and OEM support. The contracting officer approved the justification on July 23, 2026.
