Procurement Office: The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Yuma Proving Ground (MICC-YPG), is currently conducting market research to attempt to bolster government and industry coordination and partnership in supporting the United States Army Arctic Regions Test Center (ARTC) at the Fort Greely, Alaska. This RFI is being issued to inquire about performing and servicing all portable fire extinguishers located at the Fort Greely, Alaska.
