Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System

The Florida Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) is seeking to procure an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System through a single-source procurement from Datamaxx Applied Technologies, Inc. The specific procurement involves a Galaxy VS UPS 50KW system with N+1 Redundant Power Module (480V 3-phase Hardwired), including a maintenance bypass panel and five smart modular battery strings capable of providing 26 minutes of runtime at a 30KW load. This procurement is specifically for the DOAH's relocation to a new building where the current UPS system is already installed, necessitating a targeted acquisition to ensure continuous power for critical IT infrastructure. The contract opportunity was posted on March 21, 2025, with proposals due by April 11, 2025, and is being conducted under Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3) of Florida Statutes. Key executives involved in the procurement include Jeff Russell (Chief Information Officer), Patricia Kenyon (Operations Manager), Cindy Ardoin (Budget Officer), and Megan S. Silver (Executive Director & Administrative Law Judge).

The procurement is limited to a single source vendor, Datamaxx, due to the unique circumstances of system ownership and existing infrastructure compatibility. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The current infrastructure is a UPS system already installed in the new DOAH building, which requires seamless integration and minimal operational disruption. The total procurement value is $45,000, with the justification emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of maintaining the existing system versus implementing a completely new solution. The single-source selection is predicated on Datamaxx being the sole viable vendor due to system ownership, potential for a smooth transition, compatibility with current infrastructure, and the avoidance of significant replacement costs and operational disruptions. The procurement is specific to Leon County, Florida, and involves a targeted technology solution for maintaining uninterrupted power to critical administrative and IT systems.
