The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified U.S. Domestic businesses, which could include Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Women Owned Small Business firms and even Large Businesses. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Water Prediction (OWP) is tasked to perform research and development (R&D) for hydrologic services including production, testing and integration, and software development. To accomplish this suite of services, OWP leverages its operating locations based in Silver Spring at NWS HQ (SSMC2). in Tuscaloosa, AL, and Chanhassen. MN. Each of these locations leverages both the technology and human capital to maintain the Program Management Office (PMO) strategic goals and milestones. The National Water Center has an Eaton Corporation uninterrupted power supply (UPS) System that provides a power bridge between our utility power and our generators in the event we lose utility power. This protects the data centers, cooling equipment, security systems, as well as most desktops and laptops. Eaton replacement batteries are needed to ensure the health of the UPS system. INTENDED USE/PURPOSE: Eaton brand PWHR12280W4FR VRLA batteries are drop-in replacements for the batteries currently in use in the UPS system. They are specifically designed for high power density and long life applications, and can be used for more than 260 cycles at 100% discharge in cycle service. This is the only known product that can meet the Government’s needs, and this notice’s intent is to identify any other products that meet the full requirements listed below.
