HANGAR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM RENOVATION

The contract seeks a firm fixed-price, non-personal services construction project to fully replace the existing AFFF and wet sprinkler fire suppression systems in three hangars—H1029, H1033, and H1037—at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. The work includes demolition and proper disposal of all AFFF systems and foam monitors, installation of new automatic water-only single-interlock preaction sprinkler systems, and replacement of all associated piping, valves, fire cannons, standpipes, alarms, detection systems, and sprinkler heads to meet current UFC and code requirements. The project is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 with a small business size standard of $19 million, and contractors must comply with the limitation on subcontracting, restricting payments to non-similarly situated subcontractors to no more than 85 percent of the government payment excluding material costs. The period of performance is 200 calendar days following notice to proceed, which is estimated for September 2026, and includes time for inspection and punch list completion. The estimated contract value ranges between $1 million and $5 million, and offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with valid CAGE and DUNS codes, provide proof of bonding capability, and certify their small business status. All work must be performed on-site at Fairchild AFB, and bids will be evaluated based on price, price-related factors, and contractor responsibility using past performance. No funds are currently available, and award will be made to the most advantageous responsible bidder whose proposal conforms to all solicitation requirements. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 28, 2026, and proposals are due by August 18, 2026. Definitization of equitable adjustments for change orders will follow FAR 43.204, DFARS 243.204, and AFARS 5143.204.
