UPS Battery Replacement & Installation Services, QTY2EA

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, through its Network Contracting Office 20, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery replacement and installation services at the Seattle VA Medical Center. The procurement seeks to replace batteries in two UPS systems—a 40kW unit and a 120kW unit—located in Building 1, with specific work including removal and disposal of existing batteries, installation of new Eaton 93PM 208V-20-120 VRLA Sealed batteries, UPS functionality verification, visual inspections, and field activity reporting. Interested contractors must demonstrate capabilities including appropriate staff certifications, battery distribution authorization, and prior installation experience, along with providing company details, small business program eligibility confirmation, and a capability statement. This is a sources sought notice rather than a formal solicitation, meaning responses will be used to inform the government's acquisition strategy rather than to generate binding bids. The deadline for submitting responses and directing questions to the government contact, Derek Crockett (derek.crockett@va.gov or 360-816-2760 x32760), is October 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time.

No set-aside designations apply to this procurement. The opportunity involves replacement services for a quantity of two UPS battery systems at a fixed location, with no information regarding incumbent contractors or anticipated award values provided in the solicitation materials. The work will be performed at the Seattle VA Medical Center located at 1660 South Columbian Way, Seattle, Washington 98108, classified under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code 5999 (Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components). While specific budget information is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the scope appears to be a discrete service requirement involving battery replacement and system verification rather than an extended service contract. The government's market research response will inform whether this requirement will proceed to a competitive solicitation and what acquisition method will ultimately be employed.
