    The document outlines a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) by NASA for the procurement of brand name Vertiv/Liebert power products to replace batteries at the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage (NCCIPS). The action involves removing 2,120 old batteries, installing 1,960 new ones, and setting up four junction cabinets with necessary cabling across six Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. The need for specialized knowledge due to the complexity of the existing systems and the voiding of warranties if non-certified vendors are used necessitates this procurement strategy. Following market research, it was deemed essential to approach only Vertiv certified small business partners to ensure compatibility and maintain warranty support. The contracting officer confirmed that the anticipated costs are reasonable and stated a competitive opportunity among certified partners would be pursued. A notice regarding the intent to award was published, with no alternative vendors responding. Therefore, the emphasis remains on securing services from authorized partners to mitigate risks and enhance maintenance reliability, reinforcing the importance of their expertise in supporting critical infrastructure operations.
