About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, VISN 5, intends to sole source an open-market base-year maintenance and service contract to Eaton Corporation (UEI NP3NSFVMNUM3) for eight UPS units at the Hershel "Woody" Williams VA Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia, with responses due November 12, 2026. No set-aside is used. The sole-source rationale rests on Eaton's status as original equipment manufacturer and its position as the only authorized provider of the proprietary service software for 3-phase Eaton UPS products, and Eaton states it does not train, certify, or support third-party service providers on its platforms.
The covered equipment is Eaton UPS model 9390-160 and 93PM-series units. The scope is a one-year base-year service and preventive maintenance contract that includes a Flex Plan providing two UPS and two battery preventive maintenance checks for all systems. Eaton also services legacy brands, including Powerware, Exide Electronics, Best Power, IPM, Deltec, and Lortec, but states it does not service non-Eaton branded power quality equipment. Work is performed at a single site, 1540 Spring Valley Drive, Huntington, WV 25704-9300. The procurement is classified under PSC J061 and NAICS 238210, with a small business size standard of $19 million.
Interested vendors submit capability statements by email to Contracting Officer William Pratt at billie.pratt@va.gov on or before November 12, 2026. The Government will consider responses solely to determine whether to proceed on a competitive basis. Eaton is represented by Lynn Associates, Inc., Buffalo, New York.
