POWER SUPPLY

This procurement is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 for two specific uninterruptible power supply units, identified by their National Stock Numbers 6130-01-560-6282 and 6130-01-684-1998, with quantities of 21 and 15 units respectively. The solicitation is conducted on a brand name basis, allowing only products manufactured by MDF Technologies, and requires vendors to submit a letter from the original equipment manufacturer verifying their status as an authorized distributor or reseller; failure to provide this document will render the offer non-responsive. All submissions must include pricing that incorporates shipping costs directly into each line item, with separate shipping charges disqualifying the proposal. Technical acceptability is a critical evaluation factor, requiring strict compliance with the specified part numbers, packaging, preservation, and labeling standards per MIL-STD-2073-1E, MIL-STD-129P Change 4, and MIL-PRF-81705E, including ESD protection measures, wooden packaging for items over 50 pounds, and correct labeling with NSN, part number, purchase order number, and “COAST GUARD SFLC MATERIAL.” Items must be clearly marked “STORE INDOORS ONLY,” and barcoding is explicitly not required. The vendor must maintain an active registration in SAM.gov, not be debarred or suspended, and meet the small business size standards defined by the SBA. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process that prioritizes technical acceptability and past performance over price, with price considered as a secondary but still significant factor. Delivery must conform to the required schedule, and vendors unable to meet the deadline must indicate their earliest possible date. The contract includes numerous mandated FAR clauses related to ethics, whistleblower protections, prohibited contractors (including Kaspersky Lab and inverted domestic corporations), privacy training, and compliance with federal statutes governing procurement integrity, labor, and procurement-sensitive information. Invoicing is mandatory through the Invoice Processing Portal (IPP), and the delivery point is specified as the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland. All proposals must be submitted by July 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and must include accurate UEI and CAGE data in SAM.gov, along with completed representations and certifications under FAR 52.212-3.
