Uninterrupted Power Supply Vandenberg AFB

The Department of Defense, through the AFSC OL H PZIM, issued a firm fixed price contract under solicitation FA822422R0009 for the upgrade of Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This project, part of the Western Range Remote Site Systems Technical Refresh, focuses on buildings 7011 and 475. The scope of work involves replacing existing -48 VDC systems with parallel redundant UPS units, integrating remote monitoring capabilities, and ensuring the infrastructure supports current load capacities and future growth in accordance with NFPA 70 and other government standards. The contract includes a nine-month delivery period from the date of award and covers all necessary labor, travel, and equipment procurement. The contractor is required to provide several key deliverables as defined by the Contract Data Requirements List, including conceptual design drawings, a base electronic system engineering plan, an operations manual, a contractor safety plan, and regular progress status management reports. Due to the age of the facilities, the project incorporates critical environmental considerations, specifically regarding the identification and abatement of asbestos-containing materials identified in previous surveys of both buildings. Technical execution involves the installation of backup DC power and rigorous verification testing to ensure system reliability for these communication facilities.
