About this file

This document is a Notice of Intended Decision to Enter into a Single Source Contract issued by the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) for an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System. The procurement involves a specific Galaxy VS UPS System from Datamaxx Applied Technologies, Inc., which includes a 50KW UPS with N+1 Redundant Power Module, 480V 3-phase hardwired input/output, with a 26-minute battery runtime at 30KW load. The system also includes a Maintenance Bypass Panel and five Smart Modular Battery Strings. The notice is dated 04/14/2025 and was posted at 09:00 AM ET, with an internal tracking number of DOAH-SS-24/25-006.

The total price for the UPS System is $45,000.00, and Datamaxx is the sole source due to several unique circumstances: the company owns the existing UPS system in the building DOAH is relocating to, which eliminates removal and installation costs, ensures seamless transition, maintains compatibility with existing infrastructure, and prevents potential operational disruptions. The single-source justification is based on the system's current integration, the avoidance of significant reconfiguration costs, and the tight timeline for DOAH's move. The procurement is being pursued under Section 287.057(3)(c) of Florida Statutes, with approval from key DOAH leadership including the Chief Information Officer, Operations Manager, Budget Officer, and Executive Director.

Intended Single Source:

Datamaxx Applied Technologies, Inc. (Datamaxx)

Price:

$45,000.00

Justification for Single Source Purchase (what is necessary and unique about the commodity, contractual service, or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Pursuant to Section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes, the requested UPS System is available only from Datamaxx for the following reasons:

1. Existing System Ownership: Datamaxx owns the UPS System currently installed in the building. Procuring this system directly from Datamaxx eliminates the need for removal, transportation, and installation of a new unit.

2. Seamless Transition & Cost Savings: Purchasing the existing UPS avoids significant downtime, installation costs, and compatibility issues associated with replacing it. A new system would require reconfiguration, electrical work, and potential modifications to the building infrastructure.

3. Compatibility & Operational Continuity: The UPS is already integrated into the building’s electrical and IT infrastructure. Replacing it would introduce risks of system incompatibility and potential power disruptions during critical operations.

4. Market Availability & Efficiency: No other vendor can provide the same UPS System at this location without requiring a full replacement, making Datamaxx the only responsible source for this procurement.

5. Time Constraints & Business Continuity: Given the timeline for DOAH’s move, acquiring the UPS directly from Datamaxx ensures immediate availability and operational continuity without delays.
