NIGP 03544: Fire Control Systems, Aircraft

NIGP 03544 Fire Control Systems, Aircraft (Item) comprises sprinkler head replacement, fire apparatus foam removal and disposal, and fire alarm system maintenance and repair at state and local facilities. The code captures institutional fire suppression work at detention facilities, municipal fire departments, county administrative buildings, and transit properties—driven primarily by lifecycle replacement, regulatory compliance (NFPA 13 standards, California Assembly Bill 339 PFAS restrictions), and equipment maintenance cycles rather than new system installations. Recent solicitations reflect specialized labor: sprinkler replacement requires NFPA 13 compliance and bonding; AFFF removal requires EPA-certified handlers with demonstrated airport and professional fire department experience; fire alarm and security system maintenance demands manufacturer-specific expertise and field service capability.

State and local issuers across the recent block include county governments (Collin County Texas, Harris County Texas, Broward County Florida, Seminole County Florida), municipal fire departments (City of Santa Monica California), county transit authorities (Harris County bus operating facilities), and state procurement vehicles (State of Mississippi NASPO ValuePoint cooperative for fire apparatus). Geographic activity clusters in Texas and California, with secondary presence in Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's $150,000 IFB for institutional sprinkler head replacement at the jail in McKinney (response deadline November 19, 2026), the City of Santa Monica's RFB for five-year Class B AFFF removal and disposal from fire apparatus and storage containers (response deadline August 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time), and Broward County's RFI signaling intent to designate Johnson Controls as sole source for fire alarm and security management system maintenance across county facilities (July 1, 2026 response deadline). Performance bonds, prevailing wage compliance, workers' compensation and liability insurance at $1–2 million limits, and E-Verify verification appear as standard requirements.
