Market survey for FSC 5920 surge protector/suppressor

The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Region 7 is conducting a market survey for two specific electrical items: a Surge Protector (NSN 5920-01-384-8605) and a Surge Suppressor (NSN 5920-01-384-8699). The survey aims to assess current market conditions for a potential future contract with solicitation number 47QSSC-25-A-0811-SS. Vendors must precisely meet detailed Item Purchase Descriptions for each product, with specific technical requirements including exact specifications for outlet count, surge protection levels, and operational characteristics. The market survey requires vendors to provide comprehensive information about their products, including brand name, part number, country of origin, minimum order quantity, delivery time, and current commercial pricing. Responses are due by March 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time, with Laura Garcia serving as the GSA Global Supply Contract Specialist overseeing the procurement process.

The procurement opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation and falls under the NAICS category 335999 for Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing. The specific product requirements include a Tripplite TLP608TEL or equivalent surge protector with six outlets, 312 joules protection, and 125V AC operation, and a Belkin Components BE107200-06 or equivalent surge suppressor with seven outlets and 240 joules minimum surge protection. While specific award values are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, vendors are encouraged to offer potentially lower pricing than current commercial rates. The market survey represents a preliminary step toward a future solicitation, with the government seeking to gather comprehensive market intelligence about available surge protection and suppression equipment that meets their precise technical specifications.
