UNSPSC 71141003: Well fire fighting services

Services for extinguishing a well fire.

UNSPSC 71141003 Well fire fighting services (Commodity) describes fire alarm inspection, testing, and certification work for public facilities — though the recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader set of fire safety services than the title alone suggests. State and local governments are buying annual fire alarm system inspections with NICET-certified technicians, repair coordination, emergency response capabilities, and compliance documentation under NFPA 72 standards; comprehensive fire and life safety programs spanning alarm systems, sprinkler inspections, extinguisher tagging, hood suppression, and means-of-egress assessment; aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle procurement; and propane tank installation and maintenance at fire stations. Issuing bodies include county school districts, county fire rescue departments, city fire departments, and county aviation authorities. The scope of work typically requires 24/7 emergency response availability, detailed inspection reporting by severity, written repair quotations, commercial general liability insurance in the $250,000 to $3,000,000 range, and compliance with federal and state fire codes. Contracts run one to four years with renewal options, and compensation is either as-needed invoicing for performed services or fixed annual retainers not disclosed in the solicitations reviewed.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Bibb County School District (Georgia) posted RFP 26-042 on May 4, 2026 (due June 1, 2026) for annual fire alarm inspections across 49 school facilities with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 19 and a four-year contract structure.

Marion County Fire Rescue (Florida) solicited competitive sealed bid 26P-064 on March 24, 2026 (due April 30, 2026) for propane tank installation, maintenance, and replacement at 32 fire stations, weighted toward service reliability and emergency response capability.
