Notice of Intent to Sole Source Vertiv UPS System

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source maintenance services for Vertiv Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems at the CJIS, BTC Data Center. This notice, published on May 20, 2025, represents a procurement action specifically targeting maintenance work for critical power infrastructure. The FBI plans to award a firm fixed-price contract directly to Vertiv Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these systems. The agency's rationale for a sole-source procurement stems from Vertiv's exclusive access to proprietary maintenance documentation and unique engineering specifications. The notice falls under NAICS Code 335999, which has a size standard of 600 full-time employees.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit their responses by 11:00 AM Central Time on June 6, 2025, with specific documentation requirements. To be considered, contractors must provide a letter from Vertiv confirming their authorization to perform the maintenance work. The submission must include the contractor's name, address, point of contact, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity ID (UEI) number. Eligibility is contingent upon being a Vertiv-authorized provider, which must be validated through the required documentation. The FBI retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, leaving the potential for future competitive bidding open. The maintenance services will cover comprehensive work including capacitor, fan, and battery replacements for the Vertiv UPS systems. Contractors should carefully review the attached documentation and ensure all submission requirements are meticulously met to be considered for this opportunity.
