Definitive Contract 1305M325C0033

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $323,000 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Hurtvet Subcontracting, LLC (doing business as Hurtvet Fire & Security) on August 28, 2025, for the replacement of the fire suppression system at NOAA Fisheries' Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California. The contract is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) sole source award, with an ultimate completion date of August 27, 2026. The project scope includes replacing the existing FM200 fire suppression system with a NOVEC 1230 system, upgrading three EST3 fire alarm control panels to EST4 panels, and installing four air sampling detector devices. The contractor must provide certified EST programmers and deliver initial design drawings within 30 days of the notice-to-proceed, with final documentation due seven days after system commissioning.

Hurtvet Subcontracting, a Park City, Utah-based SDVOSB established in 2009, brings substantial expertise in fire safety systems and facility maintenance across federal agencies. The company has demonstrated extensive experience with fire suppression system installations, fire alarm system maintenance, and EST system programming through prior contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Park Service, Department of Defense, and other federal agencies. This award reflects NOAA's confidence in the contractor's specialized capabilities to execute a complex fire suppression system replacement at a critical scientific research facility supporting the agency's fisheries science mission.
