Amerex 600K Halon Fire Extinguisher Service

The 169th Fighter Wing at McEntire Joint National Guard Base in Eastover, South Carolina, is seeking a firm-fixed-price contract for the inspection, maintenance, agent recovery, hydrostatic testing, and recertification of seventeen 150-pound wheeled Amerex Model 600 or equivalent high-pressure steel cylinder Halon fire extinguishers. This procurement is exclusively reserved for small businesses under a total small business set-aside, and all offerors must meet general responsibility standards. The work must comply with NFPA 10, U.S. Department of Transportation cylinder requalification guidelines, and Amerex manufacturer specifications, with a strong preference for on-site service using a USDOT-registered, self-contained mobile recertification trailer equipped for Halon recovery and hydrostatic testing. All units must be labeled with permanent hydrostatic test dates and pressure markings, and each must receive a weather-resistant service tag indicating the service date, type of work performed, and technician license number. A comprehensive final report must be submitted to the Contracting Officer, detailing serial numbers, test results, replaced parts, and Halon recovery and recharge weights. Performance must be completed between September 1, 2026, and October 30, 2026, with all work due within 60 calendar days of award. The contractor must use the WAWF system for invoicing, and payment will be processed through DoDAAC F87700. Technicians must hold current certifications from a recognized authority such as ICC, a State Fire Marshal, or NFPA, and all equipment must have valid calibration and DOT certifications. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses including prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations, convict labor, and the acquisition of certain telecommunications equipment, as well as requirements for cybersecurity, whistleblower rights, and safeguarding covered defense information. The solicitation also mandates adherence to DPAS prioritization and includes provisions requiring representation that the offeror will not engage in business with the Maduro regime or derive products from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Responses must be submitted via email to david.viers@us.af.mil no later than 12:00 PM EST on August 13, 2026, and must include completed blocks 12, 17, 23, 24, and 30 on the SF1449 form, with the lowest-priced technically responsible offeror being selected for award.
