About this opportunity
NOAA's National Weather Service anticipates issuing an IDIQ contract for Transition Power Source (TPS) installation and supply by the end of June 2026; this pre-solicitation notice closes June 22, 2026, and carries a Total Small Business set-aside.
The TPS is a 50-kilowatt uninterruptible power supply system that conditions and supplies clean electrical power to 158 NEXRAD (Next Generation Weather Radar) installations across the country, bridging utility and generator power during outages and protecting radar equipment from power surges and brownouts. The system comprises an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), battery cabinet, and maintenance bypass switch, with two configuration variants: one featuring a wall-mounted maintenance bypass switch and the other incorporating a "side car" bypass switch attached to the UPS. The current TPS integrates a Supervisory Contact Module that interfaces the UPS to building alarms monitoring hydrogen detection, 80-degree and 90-degree Fahrenheit temperature signals.
The IDIQ covers three line items: Eaton 93M UPS with side-car maintenance bypass module and installed batteries; Eaton 93PM UPS with side-car maintenance bypass module and installed batteries; and Eaton 93M UPS with side-car maintenance bypass module and battery cabinet without batteries, shipped to the National Logistics Support Center. NAICS 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) and PSC 6150 (Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment) apply. No formal proposals should be submitted until the solicitation posts to SAM.gov.
Notice text
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) operates 158 Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD) across the country. These radars depend on electrical power to operate. The electrical power generally comes from the commercial power grid. The power grid is susceptible to power fluctuations due to a variety of factors including weather and other customers. The current Transition Power Source (TPS) is a four wire, three phase, dual conversion, and 50KVA uninterruptible power supply that supplies clean power to the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar. The TPS also supplies the power to the radar while transitioning between utility and generator power during a power outage. The TPS also conditions power to prevent damaging NEXRAD equipment during power surges and brownouts. The TPS is composed of three different parts: the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the battery cabinet, and the maintenance bypass switch. The NEXRAD has two different versions of the TPS. One version has a maintenance bypass switch on the wall and the other has the maintenance bypass switch as a “side car” attached to the UPS. The current TPS uses a Supervisory Contact Module (SCM) that interfaces the UPS to the building alarms. These alarms include hydrogen detection, 80 degree Fahrenheit, and a 90 degree Fahrenheit temperature signal.
CLIN 0001: Eaton 93M UPS and MBM sidecar and Battery cabinet with batteries installed.
CLIN 0002: Eaton 93PM UPS and MBM sidecar and Battery cabinet with batteries installed.
CLIN 003: Eaton 93M UPS and sidecar w/MBM and Battery cabinet without batteries shipped to the National Logistics Support Center.
The Government intends to award an IDIQ contract from a solicitation to be posted (estimated) by the end of June. This is only a presolicitation notice; no action is needed from interested vendors at this time. Please do not provide proposals until the formal solicitation is posted to SAM.gov.
