DOC UPS Refurbishment

The District of Columbia Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking proposals for a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Refurbishment project, with bids due on June 7, 2023, following the initial posting on May 31, 2023. This procurement appears to be focused on upgrading or replacing critical power infrastructure within the DOC facilities, likely to ensure continuous electrical supply and operational resilience. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique state ID 65a95d6ed947088ac30981ea and contract ID 66c85517829eb5d86906ef23, suggests a technical procurement requiring specialized electrical and power systems expertise. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of UPS systems, installation capabilities, and experience with governmental infrastructure projects. The procurement timeline is notably compressed, with less than ten days between posting and proposal submission, indicating an urgent requirement for the power system upgrades.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, government contracts typically have provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises or local small business participation. The UPS refurbishment project likely requires vendors with specific certifications in electrical systems, power infrastructure, and governmental facility upgrades. Potential respondents should anticipate complex technical requirements, potentially involving system integration, site-specific assessments, and compliance with strict governmental standards. The contract may involve on-site assessments, detailed technical proposals, and potentially phased implementation of UPS system improvements. Without precise budget details, similar government infrastructure projects often range from $100,000 to $500,000, depending on the scope of facility upgrades and specific power system requirements.
