CONTRACT INFORMATION The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Information Technology (IT) Division has routers, switches, servers, and VOIP equipment at designated facilities throughout the world. The devices in some cases are connected to various models of UPSs to protect the agency's IT infrastructure investment as well as secure student and staff digital work and applications under abnormal power conditions. Power fluctuations, whether planned or unplanned, are a routine occurrence at the campus level. When these interruptions occur, DoDEA must have a reliable solution in place which will provide sufficient off-line power to ensure the graceful shutdown of significant IT Infrastructure systems. In this case we do not have a UPS solution for the school, we need more of a centralized approach to the UPS design. All solutions must be Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) compliant. 2.
