ACQUISITION PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES:

The Government requires inspection and certification services to ensure the operational readiness and safety compliance of the Pyrotech Portable Deluge System. This deluge system is an essential piece of safety equipment required for all operations involving loose hazardous powders at the Munitions Assembly Building. Its proper function is critical to mitigating risks, and maintaining a certified, fully compliant safety system is mandatory to prevent an unacceptable risk of system failure during an emergency.

Because this is a proprietary, brand-name safety system, proper inspection and certification require technicians who have access to the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) proprietary technical data and specialized diagnostic equipment, which is typically only available to OEM-certified personnel. Interested vendors must submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the Government’s requirement.

The Contractor shall furnish all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform services as described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Performance Requirement Summary (PRS) and associated contract documents. Required services include:

• A complete functional test of all system components (control panel, detectors, response modules, alarms, and monitoring systems).

• Official safety certification guaranteeing the system's reliability and operational integrity to its original design specifications.

• Provision of all technician labor, specialized test equipment, and travel.

Please see attached draft PWS/ PRS for key deliverables and full details of this requirement.
