About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is seeking to procure twelve (12) units of Part number PG400-UPS-HR-DC28, a 1U 400w Half Rack Tactical UPS with AC/28Vdc capabilities, manufactured by AJ's Power Source Inc. This solicitation (N0017826Q6600) is structured as a sole-source procurement for commercial items under NAICS code 335311 for Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing. Key requirements include TAA compliance for all materials, and the contractor must demonstrate capability to meet all specifications outlined in the attached requirements list. The procurement emphasizes urgency, noting that failure to procure would halt production until an alternative is selected, and any alternative UPS would require extensive battery certification and environmental testing for shipboard use. Proposals are due by October 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with delivery required no later than November 30, 2025.

Despite the federal description stating this requirement is not eligible for small business set-aside, the SF 1449 form indicates the solicitation is actually set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), creating an apparent discrepancy in the documentation. AJ's Power Source Inc., located in Land O'Lakes, Florida, is identified as the sole source manufacturer for these specific tactical UPS units. The contract utilizes firm fixed pricing and includes shipping costs, with delivery scheduled to the Receiving Officer at NSWC Dahlgren in Virginia. The procurement falls under FSC/PSC Code 6150 for Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment, and the solicitation serves as both synopsis and solicitation document, meaning no separate written solicitation will be issued.

This requirement is not eligible for small business set-aside.

Material must be TAA compliant.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to award on a sole source basis for the following products manufactured by AJ’s Power Source Inc.: Part number PG400-UPS-HR-DC28, quantity of twelve (12) each 1U 400w Half Rack Tactical UPS - AC/28Vdc. AJ’s Power Source Inc. is located in Land O’Lakes, FL.  The Offeror shall ensure they can provide the requirements listed in the attached Requirements List.

If not procured, production would be halted until an alternative is selected. Selecting an alternative UPS would negatively impact on the program in several ways. The alternative UPS would need to go through the battery certification process before it could be used, Also, the alternative UPS would also need to go through its own environmental testing to ensure it is suitable for use in a shipboard environment. Changes to the mounting interface would force the program to redesign the mounting hardware and brackets currently used for the UPS. It is estimated that the cost of selecting an alternative UPS would cost the government in total labor and lost revenue. The required hardware is exclusive to AJ’s Power Source Inc.
