Vertiv ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA 5kVA 208V TAA-Compliant UPS Bundle
Overview
The Vertiv ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA is a 5kVA, 208V uninterruptible power supply bundle from Vertiv's ITA2 line, configured for TAA compliance — a hard requirement for federal, state, and municipal procurement under the Trade Agreements Act. If your project involves government facilities, DoD infrastructure, or GSA schedule purchasing, TAA compliance on the UPS tier is often non-negotiable, and this bundle addresses that directly. For integrators and IT architects specifying Vertiv power and UPS products for regulated environments, the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA (often searched as ITA2 05KRT2087UCNTAA) is purpose-matched to that procurement context.
Key Features
- 5kVA Capacity at 208V: A 5kVA runtime envelope at 208V is sized for small-to-mid server rooms, edge compute racks, or dense network closets where standard 120V consumer-grade UPS units fall short. At 208V input/output, this unit integrates cleanly with rack PDUs and equipment designed for three-phase or high-density AC distribution — no step-down transformer required in properly designed data spaces.
- TAA Compliance: TAA-compliant designation means this unit is manufactured in or substantially transformed in a TAA-designated country, satisfying federal procurement requirements under the Trade Agreements Act. For government contractors, SLED (state, local, education) buyers, or any integrator working a GSA-schedule deal, specifying a non-TAA UPS can stall a project at the compliance review stage. The ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA eliminates that risk from the power layer of your stack.
- Bundle Configuration: The VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid) bundle designation means this unit ships with the battery module included — avoiding the common frustration of ordering a UPS chassis separately from its battery, only to discover lead times are misaligned. For projects with tight commissioning windows, a bundled configuration reduces procurement complexity.
- Vertiv ITA2 Platform: The ITA2 platform is Vertiv's rack-mount UPS line designed for commercial and enterprise power protection in IT environments. It is engineered for rack integration, making it a natural fit in 19-inch rack deployments alongside servers, network switches, and storage. Vertiv's ITA2 line has an established install base in data center and edge deployments where runtime and reliability matter more than consumer-grade feature sets.
Integration and Compatibility
The 208V configuration of the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA is designed for environments already running 208V AC infrastructure — typical in purpose-built server rooms, colocation spaces, and enterprise IT closets fed from 208V branch circuits. Verify your facility's branch circuit voltage before specifying; this unit is not a 120V replacement. For network and infrastructure buildouts where power protection is part of a larger rack deployment, pairing this UPS with a compatible Vertiv rack PDU provides a cohesive power chain from the wall to the equipment. TAA compliance applies to the UPS bundle itself — confirm TAA status independently for any supplementary networking or storage gear being procured on the same contract vehicle. Integrators sourcing for government projects should retain the TAA compliance documentation supplied with the unit for submission with project closeout packages.
Deployment Context
This bundle is the right specification when three conditions are simultaneously true: you need rack-mount UPS capacity in the 5kVA class, your facility runs 208V AC, and your procurement is subject to TAA. If only one or two of those conditions apply, a different model or configuration may be more cost-effective. For edge deployments in federal facilities — remote offices, guard stations, outdoor shelters with indoor power rooms — the combination of TAA compliance and VRLA battery bundle makes the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA a practical, compliant choice that avoids multi-SKU sourcing headaches. Consult pre-sales engineering for runtime calculations based on your actual load profile before finalizing rack power budgets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA is explicitly TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, SLED, and GSA schedule procurement under the Trade Agreements Act.
Q: What voltage does the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA operate at?
A: The ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA is configured for 208V operation. It is not a 120V unit — verify your facility's branch circuit voltage before specifying.
Q: Does this bundle include the battery?
A: Yes. The VRLA bundle designation indicates the valve-regulated lead-acid battery module is included with the UPS chassis, avoiding separate battery procurement and mismatched lead times.
Q: What is the power capacity of the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA?
A: The unit is rated at 5kVA, suitable for small-to-mid server rooms, edge compute racks, or dense network closets operating at 208V.
Q: Is the ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA rack-mountable?
A: The Vertiv ITA2 platform is designed for rack integration in standard 19-inch rack environments, consistent with data center and enterprise IT closet deployments.
The ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA sits in a specific procurement niche that catches integrators off guard when they don't plan for it: 5kVA rack UPS at 208V with TAA compliance bundled in a single SKU. Most of the UPS market at this capacity tier is built around 120V or dual-voltage configurations — the 208V-specific model here is a deliberate government and enterprise data center choice, not a general-purpose replacement for a 120V closet UPS.
Technical Highlights:
- 5kVA at 208V: Correctly sized for a populated half-rack or edge compute node in a federal facility — enough headroom for servers, a managed switch stack, and a patch panel without being oversized to the point of poor battery runtime efficiency.
- VRLA Battery Bundled: Valve-regulated lead-acid chemistry in a bundled configuration means no separate battery SKU to source, no compatibility mismatch risk, and a single line item on the procurement paperwork — a real time saver on government contract deliverables.
- TAA Compliance: This is the specification flag that unlocks federal and SLED procurement. Without it, a technically equivalent UPS is ineligible for GSA schedule orders and many cooperative purchasing agreements regardless of performance.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your facility branch circuits are wired for 208V before ordering — this unit does not support 120V loads without a separate step-up transformer, and field-substituting power configurations after delivery is a project delay you don't want on a government closeout.
- The VRLA chemistry performs best in temperature-controlled environments; if this is going into an unconditioned edge shelter or outdoor cabinet with inconsistent thermal management, factor battery derating into your runtime calculations.
The ITA2-05KRT2087UCNTAA is the right call for federal edge deployments — remote offices, guard facilities, or on-base IT closets — where the procurement officer will flag any non-TAA item at review and where 208V infrastructure is already in place from the facility's electrical design.
