2200 WATTS?!?! What do you have a stack of servers on a PDU?!??! What kind of uptime do you want? You're looking at at least $1500 USD/$2000 USD minimum if it's really 2000W+.

Maybe he has a 4 monitor setup, each of them 4K running off of a K|ngp|n edition GTX 780Ti each, custom watercooled everything and OCing the balls off of everything. On the EVGA website, they claim that each K|ngp|n edition can use up to 450 dedicated watts of power (OCed, of course). Combine that with an OCed SB-E or IB-E, 4 high res monitors, and everything else and you can probably get 2200w right there.
The largest capacity PSU I know of is the Corsair AX1500i. It's an 80+ Titanium rated PSU with 1500w of power. It isn't out yet, but it should do the job. If you got two. I hope you have an Antec 1900 or a testbench, because I don't know of anything else that can hold 2 PSUs.
Say hi to the next generation.

You can fit three PSUs in a Cooler Master Stacker 935 + an extra 915 box. You can hold two in a Corsair 900D. Regardless that many watts and he's looking at least $1500 USD for an UPS. You also don't put monitors on the UPS side except for the main one. The only point of having an UPS is for protection against power blips or in an outage holding it on long enough that it can either safe shutdown or wait for Diesel/Natural Gas generator to engage.

Oh yeah. A backup battery. Sorry.
I do not know of any UPSs that powerful.

I can quote one but I need to know what's behind it and why they think they need one.

At that price, my suggestion is: house generator.
