About this opportunity

The United States Marine Corps is procuring 120 Datasafe HX Top Terminated Batteries (part number 12HX300) manufactured by Enersys Advanced Systems Inc., along with associated battery installation and replacement services for the Telecommunications Division at Marine Corps Installation Camp Lejeune. The batteries are required to replace end-of-life units in Building 24's UPS system, specifically three battery strings with designated tag numbers, to maintain operational continuity of critical telecommunications infrastructure. The contractor must be a Liebert/Vertiv Factory authorized technician capable of providing manufacturer-suggested battery replacements, supervising installation by a Vertiv Services customer engineer, providing backup power during replacement, and ensuring proper EPA-compliant disposal of existing batteries. The solicitation has evolved from a competitive procurement to a sole source award based on warranty considerations and the need to maintain existing service contracts. The response deadline is August 1, 2025, with delivery required by September 30, 2025.

This procurement initially included a 100% HUBZone Small Business set-aside but was subsequently amended to remove this designation and transition to a sole source award to Vertiv Corporation of Westerville, Ohio. The justification for sole source procurement centers on maintaining the existing UPS system warranty, as purchasing batteries or installation services from third parties would void the current service contract with Vertiv and potentially compromise mission-critical operations. The 120 batteries will be organized into three strings of 40 batteries each, with specific technical specifications including 12 volts, 60 pounds weight, and precise dimensional requirements. Performance will occur at Marine Corps Installation Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, with batteries delivered to the MMP100 SES Warehouse facility. The procurement falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and emphasizes the critical nature of maintaining uninterrupted power supply for telecommunications operations.
