The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a contract to retrofit and upgrade the fire alarm panel at the Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, NY. The procurement involves specific fire alarm system components, including 5 DAA2-7525 Digital Audio Amplifiers, 1 NCM-F Fiber Network Card, 1 APS2-6R Strobe Power Supply, and 1 CPU2-640 Main CPU with Display. The project's primary objective is to address critical safety concerns due to the current system's age and parts unavailability, which has resulted in extreme lead times for replacement components. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 922160 for Fire Protection and PSC code 6350 for Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems. Interested contractors must submit their responses by December 31, 2024, with the contract requiring full installation and programming of the new fire alarm system components.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside has been designated for this procurement, suggesting it is open to all qualified contractors. The work will be performed at 113 Holland Avenue, Albany, NY 12208, with the contracting officer being Corey Swinton. While specific award value details are not provided, the scope involves comprehensive fire alarm system retrofit, including material procurement and installation services. The project appears to be time-sensitive, driven by the urgent need to ensure facility safety and modernize existing infrastructure. The procurement process will likely involve careful evaluation of technical capabilities, installation expertise, and the contractor's ability to quickly and effectively upgrade the fire alarm system with minimal disruption to the VA medical center's operations.
