RFI Solution Components Breakout Detail.xlsx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for APC UPS Units issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory at Rome Research Site, NY. The government seeks six APC UPS units ranging from 15 to 40 KvA to replace existing end-of-life APC/Schneider equipment. The units must vary in battery uptime capacity and require APC or certified Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation support to ensure compliance with OEM specifications and system startup. Third-party vendors are not acceptable; only original APC equipment or certified OEM alternatives will be considered due to engineering requirements that minimize wiring configuration changes and reduce critical system outage time during the cutover from legacy systems.

This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment to contract or issue a future Request for Quote. Responses are voluntary and at the respondent's expense with no government payment obligation. The government will evaluate responses to assess market competition and may issue a subsequent RFQ. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitation. The integration of non-OEM equipment is prohibited due to the criticality of supported systems and the need for minimal outage windows during equipment transition.
