About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, specifically acting on behalf of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is seeking a contractor to replace fire control systems in their Network Operations Center (NOC) located in Vienna, VA. The solicitation covers the purchase and installation of new addressable fire alarm systems for two computer rooms, including equipment like fire panels, graphic annunciator panels, smoke detectors, and relay modules. The procurement is structured as a Request for Quote (RFQ) with a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation methodology, meaning contractors will be assessed on meeting all technical requirements while offering the most competitive pricing. Interested small businesses must submit their questions by March 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET and their complete proposals by April 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov. Technical acceptability will be determined by comparing quotations against the detailed Statement of Work requirements.
This contract opportunity is a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance. The contract period includes a base year from April 16, 2025, to April 15, 2026, with three optional one-year extension periods through April 15, 2029. The specific delivery location is 2070 Chain Bridge Road, Suite G-99 in Vienna, VA 22182. The government intends to make a single award with an all-inclusive fixed price that covers both installation and delivery costs. The scope of work includes not only the initial system replacement but also requires the winning contractor to provide fire alarm drawings, system programming, pre-testing, trade permits, equipment removal, operations and maintenance manuals, training, and a comprehensive 1-year warranty followed by a 3-year preventive maintenance agreement with specific service level requirements, including a 4-hour emergency repair response time and annual Fire Marshall inspections.
