AMETEK Powervar UPS PM

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proceeding with a sole-source purchase order award to Powervar, Inc., under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, for preventive maintenance services on uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units. Powervar is identified as the exclusive manufacturer and authorized provider of this maintenance, eliminating any potential for competitive bidding. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 335999 and is not designated as a total small business set-aside. The requirement is limited to four on-site service units, each involving inspection, cleaning, and adjustment of specific UPS models designated by part numbers 22030-59PMCHECK, 22060-59PMCHECK, and 22090-59PMCHECK. Performance is scheduled from May 24, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the government’s receipt location within 30 days of invoice submission, following the Prompt Payment Act. No pricing details, contract value, or FOB terms are disclosed in the documentation, and the award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis with no trade-offs between cost and technical factors. Contractual obligations are heavily governed by stringent security and compliance requirements derived from DOJ-03 Alternate I, which mandates that all contractor personnel access classified information must undergo a DCSA-managed National Industrial Security Program clearance, including Public Trust background investigations, FBI fingerprinting, U.S. citizenship verification, and in-person identity proofing. Contractor employees are prohibited from performing any work until receiving written authorization from the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The prime contractor is fully liable for compliance by all subcontractors and cloud service providers, with all security breaches attributed directly to the prime. Technical performance must adhere to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST SP 800-161, and other federal cybersecurity standards, and all deliverables remain government property under FAR 52.227-14. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via email, not through WAWF or IPP systems, and compliance with clauses on ethics, whistleblower rights, conflicts of interest, prohibited entities (including Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance applications), and Unique Entity Identifier maintenance is required. Although critical administrative details such as the COR, contracting officer, payment office, and funding identifiers remain as placeholders, the contract is
