6710B UPS Battery Replacement

The National Institutes of Health, National Institutes of Health OLAO, has issued a pre-solicitation notice under solicitation number 75N98026Q00627 for the replacement of batteries within the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems at building 6710B in Bethesda, Maryland. The requirement covers floors one through three, which house approximately 400 staff members for the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). This procurement follows a maintenance inspection that identified the existing batteries as reaching their end of life. Replacing these components is necessary to prevent potential safety hazards, such as the venting of sulphuric gas, and to ensure the continued operation of backup power for physical security and staff protection systems.

The federal government classifies this opportunity under NAICS 423610 for Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers and PSC 6640 for LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. No set-aside has been designated for this requirement. Responses are due by June 25, 2026, and John Burton serves as the primary point of contact. Technical details regarding the equipment are further detailed in a requirements document attached to the notice published on June 15, 2026.
