Fire Extinguishers

DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment has issued a pre-solicitation notice seeking industry input for the procurement of 15-pound portable carbon dioxide fire extinguishers under NSN 4210-00-203-0217. The agency is conducting market research to plan for a potential large buy and/or long-term contract for these fire safety devices. The survey focuses on evaluating contractors' manufacturing capabilities, distribution networks, compliance with source inspection and hazardous material requirements, and first article testing capabilities. DLA is considering implementing an Economic Price Adjustment mechanism using either the Producer Price Index for Portable Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing or negotiated option term pricing structures. Interested contractors must complete and return the attached market research survey to Amanda Breen at Amanda.Breen@dla.mil by close of business on October 25, 2025.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. The estimated annual quantity requirement is 7,500 units of fire extinguishers, indicating a substantial procurement volume. DLA is exploring a five-year contract structure with two potential configurations: either a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, or a two-year base period with three one-year option periods. While specific award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the combination of 7,500 annual units over a potential five-year period suggests a significant total contract value. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and PSC code 4210 (Fire Fighting Equipment).
