6150-- Replacement of UPS batteries

The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks replacement of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) batteries, with proposals due July 1, 2026. This is a civilian, open competition (no set-aside) solicitation with NAICS 335910 (Battery Manufacturing) and PSC 6150 (Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment).

The specified UPS model is BBP-AR-33-6KRM, a 6kVA/6kW, 3-phase rack-mount unit with 120/208Y voltage configuration and 6U form factor. Key requirements include a 19-minute runtime at 100% load (though offerors may propose 14-minute alternatives), hot-swappable batteries replaceable without rack removal, factory warranty covering three years on electronics and one year on batteries, and UL listing with TAA compliance. Installation must occur during normal business hours using available freight elevators, badging, parking, and loading dock facilities. Closeout documentation must confirm proper installation, functional battery power at 100% capacity, serial number listings per space, warranty documentation, removal of old units and all dunnage, and a calibration report. OEM delivery lead times exceeding the stated 2–3 weeks are acceptable provided work completes within the overall period of performance. A preventative maintenance plan will be solicited as a separate future requirement rather than included in this quote.

An amendment issued June 26, 2026, incorporated vendor questions and answers. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment by the solicitation deadline. The contracting officer is Marty Bost.
