AI Contract Overview
The Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) operates 158 Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD), which rely on stable electrical power supplied primarily by the commercial grid. To protect these radars from power fluctuations, surges, and brownouts, the NWS uses a Transition Power Source (TPS) system composed of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a battery cabinet, and a maintenance bypass switch. The TPS ensures clean power delivery and seamless transition between utility and generator power in outages. Two versions of the TPS exist, differing mainly in the configuration of the maintenance bypass switch. The system also includes a Supervisory Contact Module that integrates UPS status with building alarms, monitoring conditions such as hydrogen presence and temperature thresholds. The Government plans to issue an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract through a total small business set-aside to procure Eaton UPS units and associated battery cabinets. The contract includes three Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering different configurations: Eaton 93M UPS with sidecar and batteries, Eaton 93PM UPS with sidecar and batteries, and Eaton 93M UPS with sidecar but without batteries, which will be shipped separately to the National Logistics Support Center. This presolicitation notice, posted on June 17, 2026, indicates the formal solicitation will follow shortly, with no proposals requested at this time. The place of performance is Norman, Oklahoma, and points of contact are provided for further information.

Full Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) operates 158 Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD) across the country. These radars depend on electrical power to operate. The electrical power generally comes from the commercial power grid. The power grid is susceptible to power fluctuations due to a variety of factors including weather and other customers. The current Transition Power Source (TPS) is a four wire, three phase, dual conversion, and 50KVA uninterruptible power supply that supplies clean power to the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar. The TPS also supplies the power to the radar while transitioning between utility and generator power during a power outage. The TPS also conditions power to prevent damaging NEXRAD equipment during power surges and brownouts. The TPS is composed of three different parts: the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the battery cabinet, and the maintenance bypass switch. The NEXRAD has two different versions of the TPS. One version has a maintenance bypass switch on the wall and the other has the maintenance bypass switch as a “side car” attached to the UPS. The current TPS uses a Supervisory Contact Module (SCM) that interfaces the UPS to the building alarms. These alarms include hydrogen detection, 80 degree Fahrenheit, and a 90 degree Fahrenheit temperature signal.
CLIN 0001: Eaton 93M UPS and MBM sidecar and Battery cabinet with batteries installed.
CLIN 0002: Eaton 93PM UPS and MBM sidecar and Battery cabinet with batteries installed.
CLIN 003: Eaton 93M UPS and sidecar w/MBM and Battery cabinet without batteries shipped to the National Logistics Support Center.
The Government intends to award an IDIQ contract from a solicitation to be posted (estimated) by the end of June. This is only a presolicitation notice; no action is needed from interested vendors at this time. Please do not provide proposals until the formal solicitation is posted to SAM.gov.
