Statement of Work Summary: Server Rack Power Feeds Installation
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the installation of electrical power feeds to support server rack equipment at Grissom Air Force Base, Indiana. The project consists of two separate installations: Project 1 requires installation of four (4) independent 240V/208V, 30-Amp single-phase power circuits with NEMA L6-30R locking receptacles rated for 250V/30A, each mounted in code-compliant metal junction boxes on server rack rails or structural channels. Project 2 requires installation of two (2) independent 125V, 15-Amp single-phase power circuits with NEMA L5-15R locking receptacles rated for 125V/15A, similarly mounted. Both projects involve approximately 25-foot conduit runs from existing electrical panels or UPS systems using appropriately sized copper wire (minimum 10 AWG), professional code-compliant routing through overhead cable ladders or underfloor spaces, installation of new breakers, and comprehensive testing and grounding verification. Project 1 sources power from an existing Eaton Model 9393 Datacenter UPS (50 kVA, Serial EL201CBC03) requiring installation of four double-pole 30A breakers. Project 2 sources power from Building 427 power panel H and Building 671 XTREME Model M90 UPS (15 kVA, Serial M910241100002), requiring installation of single-pole 15A breakers in two separate locations.
This is a firm, fixed-price (FFP) turnkey installation with all work, testing, and government acceptance required by August 10, 2026. The contractor bears all responsibility for field verification of conditions, breaker compatibility, panel space availability, and exact conduit routing complexity, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit required. Payment will be made in a single lump sum only after 100% completion and formal written government acceptance. Deliverables include four operational NEMA L6-30R receptacles and two L5-15R receptacles, certified testing sheets verifying voltage/polarity/grounding for each run, and an "As-Built" sketch detailing electrical pathways and breaker assignments. The project is subject to 2009 International Building Code, current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 13, Architectural Barriers Act, and Defense Intelligence Agency Construction Security Plan requirements. Contractor personnel require background checks, vehicle passes, and base identification badges, with mandatory escort requirements in Building 427 Datacenter (a secure controlled area). Government POCs are Contracting Officer Cedric Roberts (765-688-2818) and Project Manager Chris Duncan (765-688-4459).

Statement of Work (SOW) Installation of 240V/208V 30A and 125V 15A
Server Rack Power Feeds
Grissom Air Force Base, Indiana
July 20, 2026
BACKGROUND: The 434th Communications Squadron (434 CS) is undergoing a scheduled technology refresh of communications equipment in building 427.
To support the deployment of the new core nodes and server switches, the facility requires the installation of dedicated 30-Amp power feeds. A total of four (4) runs are required to support the server rack from an existing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system.
Because the server racks are separated from the walls to allow walk-around access (front and rear clearance), the contractor must install facility-mounted electrical receptacles directly on the real property structure (e.g., mounted securely to the top or bottom of the server rack rails or under the raised floor tiles immediately adjacent to the racks). The 434 CS will separately acquire and connect the power receptacles/PDUs from the IT equipment to these newly installed receptacles.
A second project is scheduled to take place to accomplish tech refresh of communications equipment in Building 427 DCO and Building 671 communications room. These facilities require the installation of dedicated 15-Amp power feeds. A total of two (2) runs are required to support the server racks. To accommodate for standalone rackmount UPS.
SECURITY: Contractor personnel will require background checks, vehicle passes, and base identification badges to work on Grissom ARB. Background checks can take several weeks and must be initiated immediately upon award. Building 427 Datacenter is a secure controlled area.
Contractor personnel must be escorted at all times while performing work in this facility.
Escorts will be coordinated by the 434 CS Project POCs. Any penetration of fire-rated walls, ceilings, or floors must be properly sealed with approved fire-stopping materials. Any work impacting facility airflow or fire barriers must be coordinated with the Base Fire Inspector.
OBJECTIVES: The contractor shall be responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment required to complete the work described herein, regardless of the site conditions discovered.
This project is a firm, fixed price (FFP) turnkey installation. The contractor is solely responsible for the verification of all field conditions, including but not limited to, breaker panel space and compatibility, routing, pathways for conduits, structural mounting points, and adherence to all referenced codes. The Government will not be liable for any claims resulting from the contractor’s failure to perform due diligence. Refer to the below scope of work & specifications.
