J059--FY26 Uninterrupted Power Source Maintenance EO and Lyons VAMC (B=OPT4)

Solicitation 36C24226Q0990 is a Request for Quotation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 2, for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) maintenance services at the East Orange and Lyons VA Medical Centers. This acquisition is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and requires compliance with strict subcontracting limitations, ensuring no more than 50 percent of the contract value is paid to non-certified SDVOSBs or VOSBs. The contract structure consists of a base year running from September 23, 2026, to September 22, 2027, with four subsequent provisional option years, for a total potential duration of five years. The scope of work includes semi-annual preventive maintenance at the East Orange location during October and April, and annual maintenance at the Lyons location in July. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment to ensure critical equipment remains powered, adhering to IEEE Std 450-1995 and OSHA regulations. Key deliverables include comprehensive inspection reports and specific system readings for voltage and current. Award will be based on the most advantageous offer, evaluating technical capability, past performance, and price. Technical evaluations require a capability statement of up to 10 pages, 3-5 examples of similar projects from the last three years, and resumes for key personnel demonstrating at least three years of direct UPS experience and relevant manufacturer, OSHA, and NFPA 70E certifications. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format to the contracting officer by September 25, 2026, at 12 PM EST. Submissions must be organized into four parts: technical capability, past performance, pricing, and the signed VAAR 852.219-75 Certificate of Compliance. The government will evaluate the total price for the base requirement plus all options, and any significantly unbalanced option pricing may result in an unacceptable rating. Payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer through the System for Award Management.
