Eaton UPS Maintenance

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to negotiate a firm-fixed priced purchase order on a sole source basis with Chesapeake Mission Critical LLC for the procurement of Eaton UPS Maintenance. The purchase order will be for a one-year base period with options for three additional years. The maintenance is required for the large Eaton UPS systems housed in the attic of NIST Gaithersburg buildings 222 and 225 to support the Biometrics Research Lab's research mission and power needs. • The existing UPS Systems were manufactured by Eaton and are proprietary to their original equipment manufacturer. • Chesapeake Mission Critical is the only Eaton-authorized provider of service support in the NIST Gaithersburg region. • The impact of not having these units serviced would halt all biometrics research if the units fail. • Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing by or before the response date for this notice.
