Should Congress not appropriate funds, the solicitation will be cancelled. If the project is cancelled, all proposal preparation costs will be borne by the offeror.

All contractors are advised that they must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/). Joint ventures must also be registered in SAM as a joint venture. We advise contractors to begin this process when they prepare their proposal in order to ensure this registration is in place should they be selected for the award. Lack of registration in the SAM database will make an offeror ineligible for award.

PROJECT INFORMATION: The selected contractor is required to have sufficient staff, flexibility, and capability to be available on an as-needed basis. Interested firms must be able to provide all management, tools, supplies, parts, materials, equipment, transportation, and trained labor necessary to perform preventive inspection, testing, maintenance, and if necessary repair work for fire suppression systems of various manufacturers at Fort Wainwright, Alaska (FWA) and Donnelly Training Area (Bolio Lake/Black Rapids) to ensure fire suppression system serviceability and proper operation. The proposal schedule will include additional work for option years; however, there is no guarantee the options will be exercised. The estimated dollar magnitude of this project for the base and option years combined is anticipated between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

SELECTION CRITERIA: This acquisition will evaluate offerors considering the following factors: Performance Capability (to include Specialized Experience, Organization/Technical Approach and Past Performance), Small Business Participation and Price.
