DLA Halon System Cylinders (Ozone Depleting Substances)

The Defense Logistics Agency seeks refurbishment and re-certification support services for Halon 1301 fire suppression system cylinders, with proposals due July 21, 2026, and questions due June 26. This is an unrestricted full and open competition under FAR Part 12 (commercial items); the source identifies an EDWOSB set-aside in one file, but the final RFQ document states the acquisition is unrestricted with full and open competition, indicating the set-aside designation has been superseded.

Place of performance is the United States, with cylinders shipped from DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia to the contractor's facility for work, then returned to Richmond. The contractor must refurbish and re-certify 13 different Halon 1301 system cylinder configurations manufactured by Ansul and Kidde, ranging from 10 to 125 pounds capacity. The contract spans a one-year base period (September 2, 2026 through September 1, 2027) plus four one-year option periods through September 1, 2031. Work includes valve cleaning and rebuilding, hydrostatic testing, painting, recharging with government-furnished Halon 1301, and return of refurbished cylinders within 365 days of award. All work must comply with MIL-STD-101C, MIL-STD-1411C, and applicable US Navy Technical Repair Standards. The contractor is responsible for all shipping costs, parts replacement (including mandatory O-ring and actuator assembly replacements on Ansul cylinders), and 100 percent operational testing of all valves. The contract includes a one-year prorated warranty covering cylinders that develop active leaks, low weight, or pressure issues within 12 months of receipt. The incumbent is A-Gas US Inc. Award will be made on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, evaluating technical capability, past performance, and price. Quotations must include Volume I (Technical Capability, maximum 25 pages), Volume II (Past Performance with minimum three contract references), and Volume III (completed pricing schedule). Amendment 4 extended the submission due date to July 21.
