Symmetra PX UPS Hardware Maintenance - FY20

The Department of Innovation & Technology for the State of Illinois is requesting to purchase annual (12 months) hardware maintenance with next-day response for an APC UPS Symmetra PX 60KVA unit that supports the server room for the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Bureau of Disability Determination Services (BDDS). This critical piece of equipment, with serial number PD0804160064, provides conditioned and backup power to the BDDS server room, which is mandated by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA). The procurement is for standard practice hardware maintenance that has been procured annually since FY 2010 through various Illinois procurement vehicles. The purpose is to ensure the reliability and proper functioning of the BDDS server room and avoid extended power outages and service interruptions. The estimated value of the initial 12-month term is $5,750, and the procurement is 100% federally funded by the SSA.

This procurement is not subject to any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is not specified. The procurement involves integrating with existing infrastructure, as the UPS unit and related equipment are already in place and operational. The budget range is based on the estimated value of the initial 12-month term, but the final award value may vary depending on the outcome of the competitive bidding process.
