About this file
This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Request for Quotation (RFQ) for fire alarm detection and suppression system inspections, maintenance, and repairs at three National Park Service locations: Salem Maritime National Historic Park (SAMA), Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR), and the Friendship of Salem replica ship (FOS).
The solicitation seeks competitive quotes for regularly scheduled inspections, preventive maintenance, and unscheduled repairs on fire alarm and suppression systems across multiple buildings at these sites. RFQ Number 140P4326Q0064 is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services), with a $25.0 million size standard. The Government anticipates awarding one Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order with Time & Materials line items. The base year period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with two optional one-year renewal periods. Quotes must be submitted by 10:00 AM ET on September 10, 2026, to Jason_Albright@ios.doi.gov. An organized site visit is scheduled for September 3, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET at Custom House, 178 Derby Street, Salem, MA 01970, with participants able to visit both Salem and Saugus locations.
Evaluation will be based on five equally-weighted factors: Certifications/Qualifications (requiring NICET Level III or IV project supervisor certification, Massachusetts Department of Fire Services Certificate of Competency with engineered and pre-engineered endorsements for inspectors, and sprinkler technician certification); Project Experience (minimum two prior successfully completed contracts with large Massachusetts companies/agencies of similar size and scope); Schedule (capability to meet stated timelines); Past Performance (minimum three narrative examples with verifiable points of contact); and Cost/Price. Contractors may partner with local subcontractors holding required Massachusetts licenses and certifications. All evaluation factors other than cost/price, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price. Delivery is required by September 30, 2027, with invoicing through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The solicitation incorporates standard FAR clauses including those addressing prompt payment, disputes, termination for convenience or cause, and compliance with federal contracting requirements.

Description of requirements is as follows:
A detailed description can be found in the attached Statement of Work (SOW).
Period of performance for the base year is anticipated to begin 365-days from award date. There will be options for two additional one-year periods.
FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (NOV 2021) (DEVIATION NOV 2025), applies to this acquisition.
FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021) (DEVIATION NOV 2025), applies to this acquisition.
Award will be made to the lowest-priced responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, considering the stated technical evaluation factors, past performance, and price. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.
Certifications/Qualifications, Project Experience, Schedule, Past Performance, and Cost/Price. These factors are of equal importance. All evaluation factors other than cost/price, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. The evaluated price will not be rated or scored but will be a consideration for reasonableness and realism in the final source selection decision.
1. Certifications/Qualifications:
• Offeror must submit documentation confirming they employ a NICET level III or IV project supervisor.
• Offeror must submit documentation confirming each inspector conducting the inspections and testing holds a Massachusetts Department of Fire Services Certificate of Competency with engineered and pre-engineered endorsements.
• Offeror shall submit sprinkler technician’s certification

• Offeror shall submit applicable MA licenses.
• If a prime contractor submits a proposal in partnership with a local subcontractor who holds the required MA licenses and certifications, this will be considered a responsive bid.
If this is the case, please indicate it the proposal the name of the partner/subcontractor, include their licenses and certifications, and include experience for both the prime and subcontractor.
2. Project Experience:
• Offeror must submit documentation of at least 2 prior and successfully completed contracts with large companies/agencies within the state of Massachusetts to demonstrate experience.

4. Past Performance: Offeror must provide at least 3 narrative examples and points of contact for projects of similar past work. In order to conduct evaluations, the Government must be able to verify project information with the provided point of contact, via phone or email. At a minimum, the Government will use the offeror's provided point of contact, phone, or email to verify the project was performed by the named contractor and to verify the relevancy of the project. If the point of contact cannot be reached through reasonable attempts, the offer may be less favorably rated. In making a determination, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s proposal and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, or other Government personnel.
5. Price: Offeror must provide a completed Attachment 2 - Bid Schedule, with all required fields completed. Total evaluated price will be determined by adding total prices for all line items.
Time & Material line item evaluated totals will be determined utilizing the formula indicated in the bid schedule. Actual Not-to-Exceed ceiling amounts for T&M line items will be established at the time of award.
A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The law requires all reported information be made public; therefore, the Contractor is responsible for notifying its subcontractors that the required information will be made public. Nothing in this clause requires disclosing classified information.
(c) Reporting. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, or as provided in paragraph (f) of this clause, the Contractor shall report the following in the System for Award Management at https://www.sam.gov as follows:
(1) Executive compensation of the prime contractor. The Contractor shall report the names and total compensation of each of the five most highly compensated executives for its preceding completed fiscal year, if—

(ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.
78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (see http://www.sec.gov/answers/execomp.htm).
(d) Restriction. The Contractor shall not split or break down subcontracts to a value below the threshold at the Federal Acquisition Regulation 4.208(e), on the date of subcontract award, to avoid the reporting requirements in paragraph (c) of this clause.
(e) Duration. Continued reporting on first-tier subcontracts is not required unless one of the reported data elements changes during the performance of the subcontract. The Contractor is not required to make further reports after a first-tier subcontract expires.
(f) Exceptions.
(1) If the Contractor in the previous tax year had gross income, from all sources, under $300,000, the Contractor is exempt from the requirement to report subcontractor awards.
(2) If a subcontractor in the previous tax year had gross income from all sources under $300,000, the Contractor does not need to report awards for that subcontractor.
(g) Prepopulated data. The Subcontract Reports in SAM will prepopulate with some information from SAM and the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). If the FPDS information is incorrect, the Contractor should notify the Contracting Officer. If the SAM information is incorrect, the Contractor is responsible for correcting this information.

(1) If the Contractor has legally changed its business name or “doing business as” name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used to perform the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to —

(e) Unique entity identifier (UEI). The Contractor shall ensure that its UEI is maintained throughout the life of the contract.
(f) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. The Contractor shall ensure that the CAGE code is maintained throughout the life of the contract. To update a CAGE code, the Contractor shall initiate the change by updating its SAM registration.
(g) Communicating changes. The Contractor shall communicate any change to its UEI or CAGE code to the Contracting Officer within 30 days after the change, so a modification can be issued to update the UEI or CAGE code on this contract. A change in the UEI does not necessarily require a novation.
