Rental of Back-up batteries

Background
The Social Security Administration uses two (2) Government-owned Eaton Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) systems, Model 9315 with two associated battery strings of 240 for each unit. The UPS units are running in a parallel and have a Web-X card installed for monitoring purposes. The battery cells have reached a point of failure and have been taken out of service. The system is located at the Social Security Administration, Bolling Federal Office Building, 601 E. 12th Street, UPS Room; Basement Floor, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. The UPS provides back up power to support the Regional Operations Computer Center (ROCC), which is located in the Richard Bolling Federal Building. The ROCC supports critical systems nationwide. It is essential for the ROCC to have 24/7 continuous, uninterrupted power for these critical functions. The current UPS and battery system is nearing end of life and the agency is exploring service alternatives. Due to the sensitive nature of the ROCC and the need to have backup power systems, we are requesting rental battery back until a full system replacement can be installed.
