J--GC26 - MAINTENANCE OF JANUS FIRE

The contract solicitation J--GC26 - MAINTENANCE OF JANUS FIRE, issued by the Department of the Interior’s Upper Colorado Regional Office, seeks a qualified small business to provide comprehensive inspection, maintenance, and optional repair services for the Janus CO2 fire suppression system at the Glen Canyon Power Plant in Page, Arizona. The effort is structured as a hybrid five-year contract with a base year and four option years, designed to ensure the system’s continued compliance with NFPA 12 and its ability to deliver at least 50% CO2 concentration within seven minutes to protect the windings of eight main generating units. All inspection and maintenance services under the base and option years are priced as firm-fixed-price line items, while all optional repairs are established as unpriced, with cost estimates to be submitted and approved by the Government on a case-by-case basis prior to work authorization. The solicitation mandates a detailed Five-Year Service and Maintenance Plan, a proposed schedule with milestones, and documentation of technician certifications, traceable calibration records for all test instruments, and adherence to the Service Contract Labor Standards Wage Determination for Occupational Code 23290, Fire Alarm System Mechanic. Evaluation will prioritize the technical approach, past performance on CO2 fire protection systems, qualifications of proposed technicians, and price competitiveness, though no numerical weights are specified, with award going to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government when considering both technical merit and cost. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541990, requiring all offerors to have an active SAM registration and complete required representations including FAR 52.203-11, FAR 52.203-18, FAR 52.204-7, FAR 52.219-1, and FAR 52.240-90.

All payment requests must be submitted through the Treasury’s IPP system, with a hard copy of the invoice attached and a copy emailed to the Contracting Officer, Lisa Laughbon. Proposals are due by July 20, 2026
