AI Contract Overview

The Social Security Administration (SSA) plans to negotiate a firm, fixed-price, one-year sole source contract with Eaton Electrical, Inc. for maintenance and repair services of the Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) systems at the SSA National Computer Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The UPS equipment includes four Exide 2000 KVA units with auxiliary systems like the "Hot Tie," "Data Trax," and "Cellwatch" battery monitoring systems, all critical for providing uninterrupted electrical power during outages to vital computer processing equipment. The UPS underwent significant upgrades by Eaton Powerware Corporation in 1997 and 2006, featuring prototype circuitry unique to Powerware, which establishes Eaton Electrical as the preferred source for continued maintenance and support. Although this notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, the SSA is open to reviewing capability statements and cost information from other contractors until August 29, 2006, to determine if alternative sources exist that could offer a more advantageous arrangement. However, the agency reserves the discretion not to compete this acquisition based on the responses and will not award the contract solely based on this solicitation. The contract is related to maintenance services classified under NAICS code 811310, and all inquiries or submissions are to be directed to Rick Bolt via email or fax.
