The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, specifically the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is seeking a contractor to replace two Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) batteries that have exceeded their four-year end-of-life period. The solicitation (RFQ #36C25925Q0163) requires installation by a DBC/DC Group certified UPS technician and mandates the use of new OEM products, with no remanufactured or gray market items acceptable.

All submissions must be sent via email to luther.dickens@va.gov, and contractors must demonstrate compliance with NFPA, NEC, Life Safety Codes, and ADA standards while minimizing interference with medical center operations.

The solicitation is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 335311, which has an 800-employee size standard. The place of performance is located in Muskogee, OK 74401, and the contract requires precise installation with strict quality and safety requirements.
