Shared Services Canada (SSC) has a requirement for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS):
a) an initial firm quantity of 50 UPS - 3.5 KVA (or higher) 220V - to be delivered by Feb. 28, 2015;
b) balance of 150 to be delivered by March 20, 2015;
c) option to obtain additional quantity of up to 100 UPS at any time from the date of the contract and Mar 31, 2016.
The UPS must be able to operate in difficult environmental conditions (humidity, dust, failover to generator, etc.) and must provide protection against power failures, power fluctuations (over and under voltages), power surges, frequency variations, electrical line noises, switching transients and harmonic distortion.
All UPS must be delivered to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
On July 12, 2012, the Government of Canada invoked the National Security Exception under Canada's domestic and international trade agreements in respect of procurements related to email, networks and data centres for Shared Services Canada. As a result, this requirement is subject to the National Security Exception.
