About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is procuring fire protection equipment including panels, detectors, switches, and various components under NAICS code 334290 with a small business standard of 800 employees. This combined synopsis/solicitation seeks comprehensive fire alarm system components predominantly featuring Honeywell Notifier products along with equipment from manufacturers including Capsol, Federal Signal, and Eaton Wheelock across 114 line items. The government intends to use sole source procurement authority under FAR Part 13.106-1(b), determining that only one source is reasonably available for this requirement. While this is not a competitive procurement, interested parties may submit capabilities statements including pricing, FOB point, contact information, GSA contract number if applicable, business size, and payment terms. The original response deadline of August 22, 2025 at 12:00 PM EST has been extended to August 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST through a solicitation amendment.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and the government specifically intends to solicit with BFPE International, Inc. as the sole source contractor. The sole source justification is based on BFPE's current contract (W912BU-21-C-0020) for system integration and their role in maintaining compatibility with existing Honeywell fire protection systems in Buildings 1, 2, and 3. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement involves extensive fire alarm and communication system equipment with delivery required by September 30, 2025. The contract will be structured as firm fixed price with performance taking place at NSWC Carderock Division in Bethesda, Maryland, though the place of performance is also listed as Westlake, MD 20817. The procurement is justified under the simplified acquisition threshold and emphasizes the critical need for interoperability with existing fire protection systems to maintain warranty coverage and avoid liability issues.
