The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (OLAO), has issued a presolicitation notice for the replacement of Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) batteries at the NICHD-occupied facility located at 6710B, Bethesda, Maryland. This procurement is identified under solicitation number 75N98026Q00627 and is classified under NAICS code 423610, which pertains to Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers. The Product Service Code associated with this requirement is 6640.
The primary objective of this procurement is to ensure the continued reliability and safety of the UPS systems supporting approximately 400 staff members across floors 1 through 3 of building 6710B. The NICHD has maintained a service agreement for these UPS systems since occupying the space in 2016, with routine maintenance and battery inspections conducted to uphold operational integrity. A recent vendor maintenance visit determined that the existing UPS batteries have reached the end of their service life and require prompt replacement.
This battery replacement is critical for sustaining uninterrupted backup power to essential equipment, which is vital for both physical security and the protection of personnel within the facility. Past incidents have underscored the importance of timely battery replacement, as batteries nearing end-of-life have previously vented, releasing strong sulphuric odors and posing health risks to staff. The intended outcome of this procurement is to mitigate such risks and maintain the operational readiness of the facility’s emergency power infrastructure.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category, and there are no special set-aside requirements. Interested contractors should be capable of supplying and installing UPS batteries in accordance with industry standards for federal facilities, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations and adherence to all applicable safety protocols.
The place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland, United States. The notice is currently active, with a response deadline of June 25, 2026, at 13:06. Prospective offerors seeking further information or wishing to express interest should contact John Burton at [email protected]. Additional details and any attachments related to this opportunity can be accessed via the official SAM.gov listing at https://sam.gov/opp/0b78c11a59844a97b5be9e29f7b39cee/view.
This opportunity is well-suited for contractors with experience in the supply and maintenance of electrical backup systems, particularly those familiar with the requirements of federal facilities and the critical nature of uninterrupted power supply for security and safety operations.
