Fire Protection Systems Emergency Inspection, Testing, and Repairs for the Albuquerque Area IHS

The Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service is executing a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract valued at $145,000 for urgent, one-time fire safety inspection, testing, and reporting services across eight healthcare facilities in New Mexico, including AIHC, AIDC, MIHC, NSRTC, SFIHC, San Felipe Indian Health Center, JHC, and TPIHC. The requirement is mission-critical to address overdue and imminent compliance deadlines and reduce life safety risks to patients and staff, with services strictly limited to fire sprinkler system inspection and maintenance per NFPA 25, domestic and fire backflow preventer testing, fire extinguisher inspection and servicing per NFPA 10, emergency and exit lighting inspection per NFPA 101, and Fire Department Connection verification. All work must be performed by Cooper Fire Protection Services, Inc. based in Farmington, NM, due to urgency and limited vendor capability, as justified under FAR 12.102, with no competitive solicitation conducted. Deliverables include comprehensive inspection reports documenting deficiencies and corrective action recommendations, with acceptance occurring at the Albuquerque Area Office, Department of Contracts & Grant Management. The contracting officer is Stephanie Begay, and while the performance period is not explicitly defined, completion is time-sensitive to meet regulatory compliance timelines. No packaging, marking, invoicing protocols, payment office details, accounting codes, or contract options are specified, and no formal evaluation factors, contracting officer’s representative, or Section K certifications were provided, reflecting the streamlined, emergency nature of the procurement under simplified acquisition procedures.
