6110--PDU and UPS

The James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida is procuring a turnkey new UPS and Main Power Distribution System to support the activation of the new SCC VA Police Communications Center, under a combined solicitation numbered 36C24826Q0619 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8. This acquisition is a total set-aside exclusively for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with strict limitations on subcontracting to ensure prime contractor performance. The contractor is responsible for all aspects of the project including design, coordination, procurement, delivery, installation, removal of the existing distribution system, testing, commissioning, and one-year warranty support. The work is to be performed at the hospital’s main campus located at 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd, with delivery defined as FOB destination, meaning the contractor bears all risk and cost until the system is delivered and accepted at the site. The acquisition follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process, where technical acceptability based on conformance to the Statement of Need and salient characteristics is the primary threshold, and award will go to the offeror with the lowest price who meets all technical requirements. All proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file emailed to the designated contracting specialist, with no faxed or hyperlinked submissions permitted, and must include complete representations and certifications including Unique Entity Identifier and socioeconomic status declarations. The contract incorporates a wide range of federal and VA-specific clauses governing security, supply chain integrity, and compliance, including prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment and intrusion software under 52.240-91 and related FAR provisions, and mandates adherence to VAAR 852.247-73 for domestic packaging standards. Invoicing must be submitted electronically in compliance with VAAR 852.232-72 and EFT regulations, though specific platforms like WAWF are not mandated. Acceptance is governed by government inspection at the delivery site, with nonconforming work requiring correction within 10 business days at no additional cost to the government, and a mandatory one-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Pricing details are left blank in the solicitation, indicating that offerors must fill in unit pricing for a UPS Symmetra battery system and a Power Distribution Unit, with the total contract value to be determined upon award. There is no specified period of performance or delivery schedule in the solicitation, and no point of contact,
