Fire Extinguisher Replacement

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking potential vendors to replace and dispose of 217 fire extinguishers at the Glen Canyon Facility in Page, Arizona. The agency is conducting market research to identify qualified small businesses interested in providing new fire extinguishers and removing existing Dry Chemical and Halotron units in compliance with NFPA standards. Contractors must be able to remove and dispose of existing extinguishers within 14 days of notification, with new extinguishers required to have a minimum 12-year period before next Hydro Testing, wall-mounting capability, and clear instruction labels. Interested vendors are required to submit detailed business information, including company name, contact details, SAM registration status, and NAICS code by 2 PM MST on May 14, 2025, to Aubrie Watson at awatson@usbr.gov. The evaluation will focus on vendors' experience with fire extinguisher replacement and disposal, their capability to perform the work, and how well they meet the specific technical requirements.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates a preference for small businesses, specifically including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned businesses. While no specific award value is mentioned, the project involves replacing 217 fire extinguishers across the Glen Canyon Facility. The government may request a focused capabilities briefing from potential offerors at its discretion and emphasizes that this market research does not guarantee future contract awards. Contractors will need to demonstrate compliance with NFPA standards and have the technical capability to handle specialized fire extinguisher replacement and disposal. The project timeline requires contractors to be prepared to complete the entire replacement and disposal process within 14 days of notification, suggesting a relatively compact service window for the selected vendor.
