1798 - Hanscom AFB Fire Suppression System Inspections

Solicitation 2026-PZI-1798 is a total small business set-aside request for quote for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire suppression systems at Hanscom Air Force Base and the Sagamore Hill Observatory in Hamilton, Massachusetts. The contract consists of a base year starting September 18, 2026, with four subsequent one-year option periods ending September 17, 2031. The scope of work includes the maintenance of wet and dry pipe sprinklers, clean agent systems, standpipes, post indicator valves, backflow preventers, VESDA systems, fire pumps, and kitchen hood suppression systems. All services must comply with Unified Facilities Criteria 3-601-02, which takes priority in the event of conflict, as well as NFPA codes, OSHA standards, and local, state, and federal regulations. The contractor is required to maintain a 24/7/365 emergency response capability, with a mandatory 60-minute physical arrival time for hazard isolation and stabilization. While emergency readiness is part of the firm-fixed-price requirement, individual call-outs are compensated separately, and permanent repairs require a diagnostic assessment and written authorization from the Contracting Officer. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, evaluating the sum of the base and all option years. Qualified offerors must provide a technical approach, a completed bid schedule, and proof of Massachusetts certifications for fire suppression and backflow prevention. Quotes are due by 12:00 PM EST on September 10, 2026.
