NAVFAC SW Construction Fire Protection MACC 2016-2021

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest awarded this Master IDIQ on May 5, 2016 for design-build and fully-designed fire protection construction and repair across California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico at a shared ceiling of $50 million, but the ordering period closed May 4, 2021 — this vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle is expired and no longer available for pursuit. The last task order award occurred November 13, 2019, nearly seven years ago. Ordering declined sharply after the initial 2016 launch: 16 orders in 2016, 5 in 2017, 10 in 2018, and 7 in 2019, with no activity thereafter.

Scope included fire sprinkler systems (wet-pipe, dry-pipe, pre-action, high-speed deluge), fire protection water-supply distribution, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) systems, water spray and mist systems, fire alarm and detection systems, building evacuation and mass notification systems, and incidental hazard suppression (gaseous carbon dioxide, clean agents, kitchen suppression, dry chemical). Associated architectural, civil, geotechnical, environmental, and structural work, plus hazardous material disposal, also fell within scope. Awarded task orders executed both new installation and repair—replacement work dominated the recent portfolio, with emphasis on AFFF system removals and halon replacements at Navy installations.

Southwestern Dakotah Inc. dominated by value, capturing $23.2 million across 11 orders (47% of combined potential value). Millennium Fire Protection Corporation and Superior Fire Inc. followed with $11.3 million and $7.4 million respectively. Fed Con / South Bay Joint Venture held 12 orders but only $6.8 million in combined value. Six primes shared the 38 total awards. Navy customers dominated: Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 13 orders worth $13.4 million; Navy Installations Command placed 10 orders worth $16.9 million. Marine Corps and Navy Air Systems Command contributed the remainder.

Task-order set-asides were mixed: 55% unrestricted (21 orders), 37% small business (14 orders), and 8% competitive 8(a) (3 orders). Task-order values ranged widely, from $99 thousand to $5.1 million, firm fixed price. Combined task-order potential value of $49 million is 98% obligated at $46.7 million, leaving minimal remaining capacity. Most recent significant awards included $3.9 million for AFFF hangar replacement at MCAS Miramar (August 2016) and $5.1 million for life-safety system repair at Naval Medical Center San Diego (September 2016).

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest, San Diego, CA, has awarded a Master IDIQ for new construction, repair, and renovation of fire protection construction projects at various government installations located in, but not limited to, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Projects will be primarily design-build or secondarily fully-designed for new construction and repair/renovation with a project construction cost between $2,000 and $7,000,000. Types of fire protection system construction projects may include, but need not be limited to, the new installation, addition or repair of: fire sprinkler systems (wet-pipe, dry-pipe, pre-action, high speed deluge and ultra-high speed deluge); fire protection system water supply storage and distribution systems (fire pumps, tanks, fire hydrants, standpipes, and underground water mains); low and high expansion aqueous firefighting foam (AFFF) systems; and water spray and water mist systems. Types of fire alarm and detection system projects may include, but need not be limited to, the following systems: building evacuation systems, mass notification systems, fire detection systems, fire reporting systems and building emergency controls and interfaces. Associated components and systems that may also be included in the fire protection system construction projects for this contract may include: incidental special hazard systems such as gaseous systems (carbon dioxide and clean agents), kitchen fire suppression systems and dry chemical systems. Services may include incidental architectural, civil, geotechnical, environmental, and structural work as well as disposal of materials containing lead paint and asbestos.
