Electrical Emergency Power Converter

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services, is seeking quotes for an Electrical Emergency Back-up Power Converter through a Request for Quotes (RFQ) on behalf of Enterprise Asset Management. The procurement is specifically targeted for use in Marion County and the City of Salem, with a precise set of technical requirements for the backup inverter. The scope of work mandates a power converter with specific output power, voltage, input voltage, phase, and frequency specifications. Critical technical requirements include a battery backup duration, vendor start-up assistance, complete removal and replacement of the existing inverter, comprehensive warranty, and customer training. The RFQ demands additional technical specifications such as circuit breakers, specific cabinet size restrictions, an integrated monitoring system, and an internal bypass switch. The solicitation was posted on December 13, 2022, with a proposal due date of December 20, 2022, representing a relatively compressed timeline for vendor response.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly outlined in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for the emergency backup inverter. While the document does not detail incumbent vendors or current contractors, it does indicate the replacement of an existing inverter system. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available materials. The contract appears focused on acquiring a single electrical emergency back-up power converter with precise technical requirements. Potential vendors would need to demonstrate technical competence, ability to meet the specified performance parameters, provide vendor start-up assistance, offer a comprehensive warranty, and be capable of conducting customer training on the new system. The geographic scope is limited to Marion County and the City of Salem, which may influence potential vendor participation.
