Transition Power Supply Installation IDIQ with the Radar Operations Center

The Government is seeking a five-year Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure Eaton 93PM 50KW Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) network, ensuring continuous operation of Weather Surveillance Radar (WSR-88D) systems. Three distinct configurations are required: fully installed units with battery cabinets at specified NEXRAD sites, units with sidecar and MBM also installed on-site, and a third configuration consisting of the UPS and sidecar with MBM and battery cabinet but without batteries, to be shipped directly to the National Logistics Support Center without installation. All pricing must include embedded travel and logistics costs for on-site installations, and installations must comply with strict physical constraints including a 48-inch doorway width, 11-degree tilt limitation, and a mandatory ten-hour daily window with pre- and post-installation testing. Hardware must meet exact technical specifications including at least 50 KVA output, less than 5% total harmonic distortion, a 20KW load capability for 30 minutes, and integration of Eaton’s industrial gateway and relay cards for external monitoring. The vendor must secure rights to publish the Eaton Maintenance manual on the Radar Operations Center website and deliver all systems in good order with compliant packaging and documentation including commercial bills of lading. The contract is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 335999, with solicitation 1305M226Q0038 issued by NOAA's Eastern Acquisition Division. Offers must be submitted in four volumes—Technical Compliance, Installation Plan, Past Performance, and Price—with Technical Compliance serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate; failure to strictly match Eaton UPS specifications in the Statement of Need disqualifies a proposal. Non-price factors—Installation Plan and Past Performance—hold significant weight and are considered collectively more important than price in the Best Value Tradeoff evaluation process. Proposals must include completed SF1449 forms, a fully populated Pricing Schedule, documented evidence of past installations of Eaton UPS units, and signed acknowledgments of all amendments, with all submissions due electronically to the point of contact before the extended deadline of July 21, 2026. The base period runs from August 28, 2026, through August 27, 2031, with an option to extend performance by up to six months. All
