The Hawaii State Department of Education is soliciting bids for a full-service maintenance contract for Fire Protection Equipment (FPE) across various schools and offices on the islands of Oahu (Central District), Hawaii (South Hilo), Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kauai. The scope of work includes the inspection, testing, recharging, replacing, cleaning, mounting, and tagging of all FPE, as well as the installation of missing extinguishers, new fire hoses, and external signage.

The initial period of performance is scheduled from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027, with the possibility of up to three additional twelve-month extensions. To accommodate annual fire inspections, all services must be completed by September 30th of each contract year. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible offeror providing the lowest estimated total sum bid price per group, though bidders are not required to bid on every group. Disqualification may occur due to lack of experience, insufficient equipment, or poor past performance with the State of Hawaii. Payments are made upon submission of original invoices and are subject to the availability of funds and tax clearance from the State of Hawaii and the IRS. Bids must be submitted electronically via the HIePRO system, with original signed hard copies delivered to the Procurement and Contracts Branch in Waipahu within five working days of the closing date.
