Secure Supply Chain for Power Equipment

The contract pertains to the supply of uninterruptible power supplies, power distribution units, and associated components, with strict requirements for full supply chain transparency and the explicit exclusion of any manufacturers linked to the People’s Republic of China. This effort is designed to ensure the integrity and security of critical power infrastructure by preventing the inclusion of components sourced from restricted entities. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under a Small Business Set Aside, reserved entirely for small businesses, and falls under the NAICS code 423690 for other electronic parts and equipment merchant wholesalers. Performance is mandated to occur in El Paso, with all deliverables subject to verification of origin and supply chain provenance. The solicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, and responses are due by August 21, 2026, under the oversight of the Department of Justice’s Office of Acquisition Management. While no point of contact is listed publicly and specific address details are omitted, the requirement emphasizes compliance with national security standards related to sourcing and manufacturing. Subcontractors must demonstrate complete traceability of all components from raw materials to final assembly, confirming no involvement of PRC-linked suppliers at any tier. The set-aside status ensures eligibility is limited to small businesses, reinforcing broader economic and security objectives through targeted procurement.
