This is a sources sought notice issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for market research purposes related to the replacement of a fire pump at FCI Danbury, located at 33½ Pembroke Road, Route 37, Danbury, Connecticut, 06811. The notice is not a solicitation and does not invite proposals; it is intended solely to identify qualified small business contractors capable of performing the upcoming construction work. The anticipated contract will be a firm-fixed-price construction project requiring the full replacement of the existing diesel fire pump and control system, with all labor, materials, and equipment to be provided by the contractor. Compliance with NFPA 20 standards is mandatory, including proper wiring, grounding, trenching, core drilling, sealing, and fire-stopping. Commissioning will require hydrostatic testing, flow/no-flow testing, controller functional checks, and alarm/signal verification. Technicians performing the work must hold NICET III/IV certifications or manufacturer-authorized credentials. The NAICS code for this requirement is 238220, with a small business size standard of $19.0 million in average annual receipts over the prior three fiscal years, and the estimated contract value falls between $500,000 and $750,000. The project is set aside exclusively for small businesses, and interested parties must be currently registered in SAM.gov and possess an active Unique Entity Identifier and MPIN to access controlled documents on the site. Respondents must add their business name only to the Interested Vendors List on SAM.gov if they intend to compete as a prime contractor. Additionally, a Market Research Questionnaire must be completed and emailed to rcalandrar@bop.gov, which requests detailed entity information including name, address, UEI, point of contact, phone, and email. The notice also specifies that the period of performance is estimated at 181 calendar days, although the place of performance listed in the questionnaire erroneously references FCI Elkton in Ohio and should be understood to pertain only to FCI Danbury. All future solicitation details will be posted as a formal synopsis on SAM.gov, and hard copies will not be available. Respondents are advised to monitor SAM.gov continuously for updates, and access issues should be directed to the Federal Service Desk at 866-606-8220.
