Vertiv Corporation

Vertiv Corporation, doing business as Geist and subsidiaries including Electrical Reliability Services, Inc., is a for-profit manufacturer and service provider of critical digital infrastructure equipment and maintenance services operating as a prime contractor across 158 federal agencies, with 96 percent of recent awards as prime rather than subcontractor. The company competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its award footprint.

Vertiv's federal work centers on uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, power distribution units, precision cooling equipment, batteries, and related preventive maintenance and repair services. The portfolio spans purchase orders and definitive contracts ranging from routine emergency repairs and maintenance calls to multi-year maintenance agreements. Representative prime work includes a $5.2 million definitive contract (September 2025) for UPS batteries, capacitors, and fans replacement on Vertiv equipment across a two-year period; a $3.55 million purchase order (January 2024 through December 2028) for Vertiv infrastructure solutions at a civilian agency headquarters; a $825.7 thousand definitive contract (September 2024) for DC power systems products at White Sands Missile Range for the Army Test and Evaluation Command; and a $497 thousand purchase order (September 2021) for ESC Data Center Battery String to the FAA Franchise Acquisition Services.

Customer concentration is diffuse but skews heavily toward defense and operations infrastructure. The top five customers by award count account for 31 percent of awards: the Department of the Air Force leads with 111 awards valued at $328 thousand combined, followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (56 awards, $51 thousand), the Department of the Army (37 awards, $32 thousand), the Department of the Navy (36 awards), and the U.S. Marine Corps (20 awards, $1.2 million). By potential value, concentration shifts substantially: the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division dominates at $16.8 million across 8 awards (63 percent of the top five by dollar value), followed by the Marine Corps ($1.2 million), the FAA Headquarters ($420 thousand), the Navy's U.S. Fleet Forces Command Atlantic ($396 thousand), and the Air Force ($328 thousand). This concentration pattern reflects Vertiv's positioning as the original equipment manufacturer and sole-source provider for many government-owned Vertiv and Liebert systems, a distinction that appears explicitly in several Marine Corps sole-source awards.

Vertiv places task orders primarily through Federal Supply Schedules. The Basic Ordering Agreement F0460688D0101 carries 50 task orders; Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5270A carries 28; GS00F93471 carries 23; and GS00C03180, GS00K86AGS5211, and other schedules carry between 6 and 23 task orders each. These vehicles are the primary pathways for federal customers to procure Vertiv goods and maintenance services.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year, with 23 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 33 in 2024, and 30 in 2025, before a partial-year count of 8 in 2026 through June. Fourteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $5.7 million, presenting recompete exposure in the near term.

In its subcontractor role, Vertiv delivers UPS systems, batteries, power distribution units, cooling systems, and maintenance services to prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation (USAF and USMC deployment systems), HII Mission Technologies Corp (systems design, engineering, installation, and operations), Amentum Technology and Amentum Spaceport LLC (NASA Langley Research Center maintenance and base operations), Defense Base Services LLC (UPS maintenance at Naval Air Station Fallon), Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics and Asrc Federal Cyber (facility operations and ground-based midcourse defense facility sustainment), CAE USA Inc. (F-16 simulator training), and Rockwell Collins Simulation & Training Solutions (E-2D flight simulator training). Sub work is concentrated in infrastructure sustainment, facilities operations support, and equipment replacement on prime contracts.

Federal grant footprint is minimal: the source lists one grant sub-award to RTX Corporation (December 2023) for a COOLERCHIPS (Cooling Operations Optimized for Leaps in Energy, Reliability, and Carbon Hyperefficiency for Processing Systems) research effort, representing sub-recipient involvement in energy-efficiency research rather than prime grant receiving.

Service Contract Inventory captures only 15 federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold across FY2022–FY2024, with four prime records and eleven sub records, reflecting minimal SCI presence. SCI-reported invoicing on prime contracts totals zero dollars across the three fiscal years, and FTE delivery on SCI-reportable contracts shows 0.0 FTEs in FY2022, 0.0 in FY2023, and 3.8 in FY2024. SCI underrepresents Vertiv's federal activity because the vendor's footprint is dominated by purchase orders for goods and maintenance services below the $150,000 reporting threshold and by equipment sales that fall outside SCI's service-contract scope.

Vertiv's federal work is predominantly goods-based (power equipment, batteries, cooling systems, UPS units, rectifiers, condensers, distribution units) and short-duration or recurring maintenance services delivered under purchase orders. The company competes across full-and-open federal procurements, does not pursue set-asides, and operates primarily as a prime rather than subcontractor, though it builds notable teaming relationships with large defense primes on facility operations and systems integration contracts.
