PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a market survey to locate additional sources of supply to design/develop a 28VDC Power Supply, again, it is for a commercially available 28VDC Power Supply. Additional Sources of supply for a 28VDC PWR Supply must offer a commercially available 28VDC PWR Supply that is an equal substitute for form/fit/function. Interchangeability exist in electrical input/output interface cables, to allow easy plug-in with existing cables that are inside the ESVs. Interchangeability shall also exist in fit, so that the replacement 28VDC PWR Supply will fit exactly in the designated compartment of the electrical rack that is inside the ESVs. Each offeror must provide all supporting equipment specifications data/documents for your proposed 28VDC Power Supply and provide any supporting technical documentation to verify/prove that your proposed commercial equipment is equal to P/Ns previously placed in the ESVs, as explained above.
