Maintenance and Support for APC A/C and UPS Devices

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has a requirement for maintenance and support renewals for APC Air Condition (A/C) and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) devices. The DOL intends to use the services of Chesapeake Mission Critical, who is the only known responsible source that can meet the DOL requirements. Justification and Approval of Sole Source is cited in 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) "only one responsible source." The requirement can be satisfied by one responsible source. No other product or service will satisfy the needs of the agency. Chesapeake Mission Critical is the exclusive and only authorized service provider for APC products and as such, is the only acceptable contractor to provide the services required. Chesapeake Mission Critical is APC's representative for the DC, Virginia, and Maryland territory. Any work that is performed outside of the APC provider (Chesapeake Mission Critical) would not be covered under any warranties or service agreement. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 5:00 p.m. local, on 05/24/2010. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purposes of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
