FTW480 FIRE PROTECTION REPAIRS

This contract presolicitation seeks competitive proposals from small businesses for fire protection repairs at Building 3030, Fort Wainwright, Alaska, under solicitation number W911KB26RA038. The project involves bringing the building’s life safety systems into current code compliance. The scope includes removal and replacement of the fire suppression system, upgrading emergency lighting systems, and establishing or restoring pathways connecting office areas within the warehouse bays. The anticipated contract value ranges between $10 million and $15 million, with a performance period of approximately 550 calendar days. This procurement is a total small business set-aside and governed by NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. Submissions must be made electronically via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) platform, requiring vendors to register and have a Proposal Manager role established prior to proposal submission. The evaluation process utilizes a two-phase source selection methodology emphasizing best value tradeoff considerations. Phase one will assess past performance and technical approach, while phase two will consider design and construction approach, proposed contract duration with schedule, and price. The award will not be based solely on lowest price but on an integrated assessment of price and non-price factors. Although the presolicitation notice includes administrative details—such as contact points within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, required registrations in SAM, and proposal submission instructions—it lacks specific FAR clause listings, inspection and acceptance criteria, detailed pricing structures, or special contract requirements. The place of performance is Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and the contracting office is located in Anchorage. Offerors must monitor the PIEE website for solicitation availability slated around mid-May 2026 and subsequent amendments. The documentation underscores compliance with applicable life safety codes and regulatory standards, though explicit standards and inspection protocols are not outlined in this notice.
