Firestopping & Fire-Resistive Joint Systems Inspection

The contract seeks qualified inspectors to perform detailed examinations of firestopping and fire-resistive joint systems associated with electrical penetrations and conduit runs, ensuring full compliance with ASTM E2174 and E2393 standards. These inspections are critical to maintaining the integrity of fire-rated assemblies in building constructions, particularly where electrical systems penetrate firewalls, floors, or ceilings, requiring precise application and documentation of approved materials and methods to preserve rated fire resistance. The work must be conducted by certified professionals capable of identifying deficiencies, verifying installation accuracy, and providing formal certification documentation that meets federal and industry benchmarks. This is a subcontract opportunity posted by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 245-NETWORK Contract Office 5, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The NAICS code 541370 indicates the work falls under Engineering Services, reflecting a technical and compliance-focused scope rather than construction or supply. Interested parties must submit proposals before the deadline, ensuring they can demonstrate experience with firestop systems, familiarity with the referenced ASTM standards, and the ability to deliver inspection reports that satisfy regulatory and safety requirements. Performance location and point of contact details are not specified, but the work is expected to occur at VA facilities under the oversight of the contracting office.
