About this file
This is a Question and Answer document for ITB 2026-059, a Fire Extinguisher Inspection and Repair solicitation issued by the State of Maryland. The ITB requests fire extinguisher inspection and repair services across multiple locations. Bidders are required to submit price proposals for various classes of fire extinguishers, including a correction to the Class K extinguisher specification, which is 2.5 lbs rather than 25 lbs as initially listed in the ITB documents (Items A-D on pages 7-10 of the price proposal section).
Key eligibility requirements specify that the prime contractor must demonstrate three years of experience as a formal, registered business providing fire extinguisher inspection and repair services; subcontractor experience cannot substitute for the prime contractor's required experience, though subcontractors may be utilized. Regarding operational procedures, the State will not provide inspection due date records with the ITB; however, the awarded contractor may request such records as needed prior to conducting inspections. No specific response deadlines, site visit requirements, or award dates are referenced in this Q&A document.
