This document is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers for APC by Schneider Electric Company. The requirement is for an Extended Warranty for 2 EA APC Symmetra UPS Units under the FY24 Base Year Contract (N040624P1012), with battery replacement and shipping included in Opt-3 to maintain warranty. The Required Delivery Date is 9/30/25, and the document specifies that MFG Certified Techs/Genuine Parts are required for the UPS Units currently in use. The justification emphasizes the need for manufacturer-certified technicians due to the specialized nature of the equipment and potential supply chain instability, with APC/SE field engineers being the preferred service providers to ensure proper warranty coverage.
