Uninterruptable Power Supply-Phase II-FHWA

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement, acting on behalf of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), is seeking a qualified contractor to supply and install bolt-on uninterruptable power sources (UPS) for existing controller cabinets. This procurement, identified by the contract opportunity ID 66c85e31829eb5d869075230, represents a Phase II infrastructure enhancement project focusing on power reliability for transportation infrastructure. The primary objective is to upgrade existing controller cabinets with UPS systems that can maintain electrical continuity during power interruptions. The solicitation was officially posted on June 25, 2012, with proposals due by July 19, 2012, allowing potential vendors approximately 24 days to prepare and submit their responses. Contractors interested in this opportunity will need to demonstrate technical capabilities in power supply installation, familiarity with transportation infrastructure requirements, and the ability to seamlessly integrate new UPS systems into existing electrical frameworks.

While specific set-aside designations were not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, contractors should anticipate potential local or federal requirements for small business or disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The procurement appears focused on technical capability and infrastructure enhancement rather than specific vendor size restrictions. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the original contract opportunity description. The scope suggests this is a targeted infrastructure improvement project, likely part of a broader transportation system modernization effort. Although no precise budget range was specified, the bolt-on UPS installation implies a specialized, potentially moderate-cost procurement that would require specific electrical and transportation infrastructure expertise. Potential respondents should carefully review the full solicitation documents to understand the complete technical specifications and installation requirements for the uninterruptable power supply systems.
