Emergency Replace Fire Pumps

The Federal Prison System under the Bureau of Prisons is forecasting an emergency replacement of two diesel fire pumps at a facility in Marianna, Florida, under an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside contract. This action is designated for small business participation under the 8(a) program, indicating the contract will be awarded exclusively to a qualifying small disadvantaged business without competitive bidding. The North American Industry Classification System code 236220 identifies the work as related to commercial and institutional building construction, specifically involving the installation and integration of fire protection systems. The contract is being managed by the Department of Justice, with Julie Bergami as the primary point of contact and Sarah Dean serving as the Small Business Specialist. No solicitation number has been issued yet, and the forecast was posted on August 10, 2026, signaling an upcoming procurement opportunity expected to be formally released soon. All performance activities are located at the Marianna facility, and the urgency implies a critical need to maintain fire safety compliance and operational readiness.
