5999--Uninterruptible Power Supplies

The Department of Veterans Affairs Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System is seeking Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Power Distribution Units (PDUs) for the Tulsa VA Medical Center's communication infrastructure. The procurement will support server racks in two entrance rooms, one data center, and twelve telecommunication rooms, requiring equipment that complies with the VA Office of Information and Technology Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces (ISTS) Version 4.0. Potential vendors must respond by February 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM Central Time, providing details about their business size, socioeconomic status, manufacturer/distributor capabilities, and technical qualifications. The Request for Information (RFI) is primarily a market research tool to inform future acquisition decisions and does not constitute a formal solicitation. Respondents are expected to address their ability to meet the specified technical requirements and provide information about domestic end products.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside, and the NAICS code 335999 allows businesses with up to 600 employees to qualify. The Statement of Work details precise equipment requirements, including 55 rack-mounted UPS units (5kW three-phase 208V), 40 Chatsworth vertical PDUs, 104 APC AP8861 telecommunication room vertical PDUs, 4 APC BX1500M Back UPS towers, and 5 CyberPower M1100XL medical grade UPS systems. Delivery and installation are scheduled between September 4-12, 2025, with contractors responsible for delivery, offloading, installation, testing, and packaging removal. The equipment must meet specific technical specifications including power capacity, input/output connections, mounting requirements, and monitoring capabilities. Manufacturers must provide standard warranties starting from the delivery date, and the total project will support the VA's critical communication infrastructure at the new Tulsa Medical Center.
