UPS for Dispatch Radios

Lane County, Oregon, through the Lane County Sheriff's Office, is seeking quotes for an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) system designed to provide backup power for emergency communication radios at their dispatch center. The Request for Quote (RFQ) solicits proposals from qualified vendors for a Lithium-based UPS system with specific technical requirements, including a minimum of 20kW total combined surge capacity, 2.4kW total combined constant load for 12 hours, and 28.8kWh total storage for constant load. Vendors must provide comprehensive information about their organization, demonstrating experience in supplying Lithium-based UPS systems, and submit detailed pricing proposals valid for a 6-month period. The county will evaluate quotes based on both cost and qualifications, with the goal of selecting the most advantageous vendor proposal. Quotes are due by September 7, 2022, at 5:00 pm local time, and the county reserves the right to reject any or all quotes, negotiate with vendors, and issue subsequent requests for quotes if necessary.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation. The procurement appears to be open to any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications for the UPS system. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the technical requirements suggest a substantial investment in critical infrastructure for emergency communications backup power. The proposed UPS system must include remote monitoring and alarming capabilities, indicating a need for sophisticated technological integration. The county's approach suggests they are seeking a reliable, long-term solution for maintaining continuous power to their dispatch radio systems, with an emphasis on vendor qualifications and system performance.
