Whips and Breakers SSJ_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document supporting simplified procedures for a federal contract opportunity (N0012426PR24206) for services at the Naval War College data center.

The government is procuring continuation of 20A Circuit Installations and Power Reconfiguration services for the Naval War College data center MLH-327 on a sole source basis from D/E/F Services Group, LTD (CAGE Code 3CFF5). Phase 1 was completed under contract N0018925FG071, and Phase 2 involves the installation of 35 whips and breakers to UPS-A to support modernization and capacity expansion of the data center infrastructure. The contract is scheduled to start as soon as possible but not exceed 30 September 2026. The justification emphasizes that D/E/F Services Group, LTD is the only appropriate source because they completed Phase 1 and are familiar with the system requirements, installation standards, and equipment specifications. Awarding to another vendor would present risks of delays, unfamiliarity with the system, learning curves in completing work, and potential mistakes that could degrade power services affecting the Command's operational status. The Phase 2 installation must be identical to the Phase 1 unit to ensure compatibility and proper functioning of the dual UPS system in Room 327, which maintains power in case of outage. The document includes a technical/requirements certification confirming the accuracy and completeness of the sole source justification.
