All diagnostics and software adjustments are proprietary, should non-Eaton employed/certified technicians do any work on the UPS, any warranties would be void.

The Government anticipates an award date on or before 31 August 2026. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
