MSFSC Fire Fighting Systems 2012-2017

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command awarded this Master IDIQ for fire-fighting systems and self-contained breathing apparatuses for the MSFSC fleet on January 13, 2012, with ordering authority that closed on January 12, 2017. The vehicle is no longer active; all 245 task orders have been placed and $7.8 million in combined potential value has been fully obligated.

Awarded task orders cover annual fire-system inspections and certifications, firefighting system testing (including high-expansion foam systems and hydrostatic testing), and procurement of firefighting components such as hoses, valves, detectors, and halon bottles for named vessels including USNS Comfort, USNS Supply, USNS Medgar Evers, USNS Trenton, and others across the MSFSC fleet. Orders show domestic work concentrated at Norfolk, Virginia and Little Creek, Virginia, with performance also at overseas homeports such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

The Hiller Companies LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 123 orders representing $4.8 million of combined potential value, or roughly 62 percent of all activity. Drew Marine USA Inc. holds the second position with 65 orders and $1.5 million combined potential value. Western Fire & Safety Co, Inc. and Bfpe International, Inc. account for the remainder. Military Sealift Command placed 244 of 245 orders; United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) placed one order for $13 thousand. Set-asides were heavily skewed toward small business; 239 orders (98 percent) carried the Total Small Business designation, with only six orders unrestricted.

Task-order values ranged widely, from $926 to $272,258.76. Notable large orders include delivery order N4044212D6000-0074 (USNS Spearhead high-expansion foam system mission bay testing, $272,258.76), N4044212D6000-0078 (USNS Millinocket high-expansion foam system testing, $149,593.15), N4044212D6000-0067 (USNS Millinocket FCT support, $147,094.20), and N4044212D6000-0099 (USNS Trenton firefighting final contract trials, $129,605.80). Ordering activity peaked in 2013 and 2014 (57 and 56 orders respectively) and declined sharply in 2016 and 2017 as the vehicle approached its expiration date.
