About this file
This document is a Sources Sought Notice for a sole source market research requirement to modify the existing Simplex Fire Alarm and Mass Notification System at the Watervliet Arsenal in New York. The notice serves three purposes: 1) to notify potential offerors of the government's intent to solicit brand name components, 2) to identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name items, and 3) to provide notification of the Army's intent to solicit the brand name Simplex components. The requirement is for additional equipment, programming, and work to modify the existing Simplex system to support changes to the B120 project. The Simplex system is proprietary and required to maintain full functionality and compliance with applicable codes and standards. This includes the use of Simplex addressable devices, notification appliances, power supplies, and audio amplifiers. The system must be a complete, supervised, non-coded, analog-addressable Fire Alarm System (FAS) and Mass Notification System (MNS) installed per NFPA 72, with point-to-point reporting capabilities. The FAS/MNS must be compatible with and communicate seamlessly with the existing Simplex network. The government will review any capability statements received by the response date to determine if any other sources can meet the requirement.

(1) The requirement is to provide additional equipment, programming, and work to modify the existing to remain Simplex Fire Alarm and Mass Notification System to support changes to the B120 Project at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) in Watervliet, NY. The proprietary Simplex addressable devices support addressable functionality with the Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panel, allowing the system to achieve full functionality and compliance with applicable Codes and Standards. Proprietary notification appliances are required to achieve synchronization of audible and visual notification signals with the remainder of the facility utilizing existing Simplex power supplies and audio amplifiers.
New Fire Alarm installations include Mass Notification Systems (MNS) in accordance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-021-01. The existing Simplex infrastructure on site supports the UFC requirements for primary MNS communications. The Simplex Fire Alarm and integrated MNS system has the capability to remotely activate the in-building MNS messaging system and provide live-voice announcements. Fire Alarm System (FAS) and Mass Notification System (MNS) shall be complete, supervised, non-coded, analog-addressable system, installed in class A configuration per National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 72. The FAS/MNS shall provide point reporting to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The FACP shall in turn provide point reporting to sitewide Simplex networking and reporting equipment. Point reporting, also known as point-to-point reporting, is the capability to relay the status of each addressable device and certain system components such as Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) to a Central Receiving Station in real time. The FAS/MNS shall be tested and perform as a critical life-safety system.
The FAS/MNS shall be compatible with and shall communicate seamlessly with the sitewide Simplex network/receiving system, without impairing operational function or reliability of any existing FAS or MNS.
