The Billings Area Indian Health Service plans to award a sole source contract to Ostlund’s Fire Protection of Huntley, Montana, for fire alarm and sprinkler system preventive maintenance, testing, and inspection services at Fort Peck Service Unit locations in Poplar and Wolf Point, Montana. This contract will be awarded under FAR 6.103-1, citing only one responsible source capable of fulfilling the service requirements based on market research. The scope includes quarterly site visits occurring every 80 to 100 days, during which the contractor will perform comprehensive inspections and testing of all fire alarm and suppression devices according to NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 (2010 Edition) standards. The contractor is responsible for providing qualified technicians certified under NFPA 72 14.2.2.5, submitting detailed inspection reports in electronic PDF format plus paper copies, promptly notifying facility engineers of any deficiencies, and maintaining compliance with required testing intervals and reporting formats. The services cover multiple facilities, including Chief Redstone Clinic, Verne E. Gibbs Clinic, White Buffalo Clinic, and FPSU quarters located in Poplar and Wolf Point, MT. This procurement is a non-competitive action, with no solicitation or pricing information released and no traditional contract clauses or standard FAR contract administration data identified in the available materials. No formal evaluation factors, socioeconomic set-asides, or business size status considerations apply due to the sole source justification. Interested firms that believe they can provide the required services are invited to respond within seven days from the notice's publication date, after which the government, at its discretion, may proceed without competition. Administrative details such as payment mechanisms, invoicing methods, or contract award dates are not specified, reflecting the preliminary nature of this notice. The document emphasizes strict adherence to recognized fire protection codes and detailed documentation to support facility accreditation and regulatory compliance at multiple site locations within the Billings Area Indian Health Service jurisdiction.
