The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a single source contract to the Eaton Corporation for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System Maintenance. The NAICS code used for this requirement is 238210 - Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors.
The objective of this requirement is for the VA to procure maintenance services for UPS systems at the Philadelphia Information and Technology Center. The contract is to be awarded using sole source, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, in accordance with FAR 13.501(a), as the VA currently has an active warranty on the UPS systems that were purchased in 2017 along with the warranty (Contract No.: GS-03-P-16-AZ-C-7003). To maintain all aspects of the warranty, only Eaton can service the systems until the warranty expires. Additionally, the warranty includes the full replacement of internal batteries before the warranty expires. This contract will only be active during the warranty period and will fully expire on January 25, 2022.
