Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide the U.S. Air Force’s Air Logistics Center (ALC), at the Hill Air Force Base, Utah, power reliability products and complete turnkey services including engineering, project management, system integration, installation, training and onsite maintenance services. The win could be worth as much as $568.7 million and will be divided among two suppliers over the life of the five-year contract with one single two-year option period. Eaton’s Electrical Service & Systems Division’s Federal Systems Business Unit will manage the work for the contract.
“For more than 20 years, we have provided vital power solutions for the U.S. Air Force’s complex applications,” said Thomas S. Gross, vice chairman and chief operating officer –Eaton’s Electrical Sector. “This contract further substantiates our uncompromising commitment to providing world-class power solutions, and superb customer focus and service.”
Products include commercially available, on-line, double conversion, single or three-phase Static Uninterruptible Power Supplies (SUPS) ranging in size from 3kVA to 1000kVA, associated equipment, ancillary electrical equipment, and spare parts. Designed and engineered to deliver the highest level of system reliability and availability, the total power solution supports the Air Force’s applications around the world.
The Air Force awarded the contract to Eaton after competitively evaluating technical, past performance and price criteria. This contract represents the fourth such award by the U.S. Air Force to Eaton for uninterruptible power system (UPS) equipment and system integration. The previous contracts were awarded in 1988, 1996, and 2001 to Powerware Corporation, which was acquired by Eaton in 2004.
