1. General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract's terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.2 :Background The purpose of this contract is to obtain maintenance support for Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) fire extinguishers both Basic Issue Items (BII) for vehicles and Buildings. Currently we purchase fire extinguishers thru GCSS-Army either Class II or IX. This contract is for the entire MCoE to use for building Fire Extinguishers with their own Line of Accounting (LOA), with DOTS as the lead/manager. All vehicle BII fire extinguishers will be done by the DOTS. Fire extinguishers are a requirement for maintenance support, part of vehicle BII, and a requirement for buildings by the Fire Department and Staff Inspection Program (SIP). If we do not keep this capability then this will affect the Operational Readiness (OR) rates of MCoE vehicles, and we will fail facility/building inspections. This will degrade training and will cause non conducts and will affect ARP RI NT, and cause mission failure. Training will cease and will affect graduation requirements. All requirements are per NFPA-10, AR 420-1 and MCoE regulation 420- 90.

1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s) for annual inspection, maintenance/repair, refill/recharge/discharge, disposal and hydrostatic testing for all fire extinguishers utilized by DOTS and all MCoE Training Brigades for facilities and vehicles per Army Regulation.

The Contractor will come to 1x location where all fire extinguishers will be located, the contractor will NEVER get the fire extinguishers from the vehicles or the buildings. The estimated number of fire extinguishers is 2,050 per year of a 5 year ordering period. The contractor must be able to gain access onto Fort Benning, GA to pick up and/or deliver the various types of fire extinguishers one (1) time a month or (1) time per quarter as required.

Type 1 fire extinguishers (Co2) can be inspected and refilled/recharged but cannot be serviced with non-Army parts so if parts are needed, they will be disposed of by the contractor. Contractor will ensure that all unrepairable Type 1 fire extinguishers (Co2) are fully discharged to facilitate proper disposal by the contractor. Type 2 fire extinguisher will be inspected, tested serviced, repaired and refilled/recharged/discharged or disposed of as the regulation outlines, by the contractor.
