Uninterruptible Power Supply for Shipboard Alarm and Announcing System and Electronic Chart Display and Information System

The United States Coast Guard Command Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) is procuring Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to serve the Shipboard Alarm & Announcing System (A&AS) and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) across multiple Coast Guard vessel classes including 175-foot Keeper class, 225-foot Juniper class, and 418-foot Legend class cutters. The solicitation requires two specific UPS configurations: a 1.5kVA/980W model and a 3.0kVA/2.25kW model, both with rack-mount capabilities, 120V input voltage, specific NEMA connections, minimum 30-minute runtime at full load, and RS-232 monitoring capabilities. Technical specifications mandate compliance with TEMPEST requirements for BLACK applications, military standards including MIL-STD-1310, and Section 508 accessibility requirements, along with a minimum 3-year commercial warranty. The evaluation will prioritize technical capability, with technical factors being significantly more important than price, and offers must meet all threshold requirements in the technical specifications. The proposal submission deadline is July 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM EDT, following multiple amendments that extended the timeline and revised technical specifications.

This procurement is structured as an unrestricted, single-award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size. The contract has a five-year ordering period with a minimum unit quantity of 5 and a maximum contract value that has been revised from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 through amendments. Delivery is required within 90 calendar days of delivery order award, with anticipated deliveries primarily to the Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland, and the C5I Service Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) with a size standard of 600 employees. The solicitation documents do not identify any incumbent contractors, suggesting this may be a competitive replacement procurement for obsolete UPS units currently in service across the Coast Guard fleet.
