Cheyenne Mountain SFS Upgrade Edwards EST-3 Fire Alarm System to EST-4

The Department of the Air Force Space Command, specifically Space Base Delta 1 and the 21st Contracting Squadron, is seeking to procure the upgrade of Edwards EST-3 Fire Alarm Systems to Edwards EST-4 fire alarm control panels at Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. This Sources Sought notice represents market research to identify qualified vendors capable of executing this upgrade project. Key contract requirements include that contractors must demonstrate at least 5 years of experience in fire alarm system installation, maintain NICET II certification in Fire Alarm Systems, and possess Edwards FireWorks System manufacturer certification. The government is evaluating vendor responses based on their authorization as Edwards distributors, proposed installation timeline, ability to provide complete system components, warranty terms, and overall company qualifications. Interested vendors must submit their responses by January 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, though this Sources Sought notice is exploratory in nature and does not commit the government to issue a formal solicitation.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and applies to NAICS code 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 800 employees. The project involves the replacement of twenty-three existing fire alarm control panels across multiple buildings at the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station facility, to be executed in two sequential phases. The upgrade aims to enhance system capabilities and reliability while maintaining seamless integration with existing field devices and the current FireWorks system. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring full functionality and compliance with current fire codes while minimizing disruption to building occupants, and must provide a one-year full warranty covering parts, labor, and all associated repair or replacement expenses. Specific budget information and probable award values have not been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, though the scope of upgrading 23 control panels across multiple buildings suggests a substantial contract value.
