About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is conducting a sources sought synopsis for Fire Alarm Inspection and Testing Services at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System in New Orleans, LA. The market research effort seeks to identify potential vendors capable of providing comprehensive fire alarm and fire suppression testing and inspection services for 15 buildings and a concourse, covering approximately 65 floors with around 6,749 fire alarm devices and 4,000 sprinkler system devices. Interested vendors must submit a five-page capability statement demonstrating their ability to perform these services, with responses due by 10:00 AM CST on February 26, 2025, via email to veronica.maskell@va.gov. The government will evaluate responses based on vendors' technical capabilities, business size, socio-economic status, and certifications. Respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide details about their business classification, including potential designations such as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), HUBZone, 8(a), or woman-owned business status.
The procurement falls under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) with a size standard of $25 million, and the initial contract period will run from July 13, 2025, through July 12, 2026, with four potential one-year option periods extending through July 12, 2030. No specific set-aside has been predetermined, allowing for broad competition among qualified vendors. The contract requires contractors to employ NICET Level III certified technicians for fire alarm work and provide proper certifications for fire suppression services, with detailed testing schedules including quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections. Contractors must perform comprehensive testing of sprinklers, smoke detectors, fire/smoke dampers, pull stations, tamper switches, water flow switches, duct detectors, heat detectors, fire door releases, fire pumps, alarm panels, speakers, strobes, and kitchen hood suppression systems. While no specific award value is mentioned, the scope suggests a significant and complex service requirement for the VA facility, with strict reporting and coordination requirements including written reports within 14 days of service completion.
