About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District is conducting market research to support a sole source specification for a Monaco Fire Alarm Radio Building Transceiver (BT-XM) for a construction project at Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) in Washington. The project involves constructing a 5,964 square foot addition to an existing aircraft paint shop and installing a media blast booth. The agency is specifically seeking vendors who can provide a transceiver that seamlessly reports to the central Monaco fire alarm receiving station, with the current system requiring a Monaco radio fire alarm receiver that only operates with Monaco transmitters. Vendors are invited to respond with detailed specifications and a narrative explaining how their product meets the salient requirements by January 8, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Responses must be submitted via email to russell.j.armstrong@usace.army.mil and susan.f.newby@usace.army.mil, including company details, contact information, and comprehensive product specifications.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for this procurement, and the only identified manufacturer is Monaco Enterprises, Inc. The procurement is classified under NAICS categories 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and 334220, with a Product Service Code of 1265 for fire control transmitting and receiving equipment. While no specific award value is mentioned, the notice suggests this transceiver will be incorporated into a larger construction contract for the base facility expansion. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement, referencing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-l(c) for sole source justification. The procurement appears focused on ensuring compatibility with the existing fire alarm infrastructure at JBLM, with a strong preference for the Monaco transceiver based on current system integration.
