Inpsect/Service Fire Extinguisher, NPS-LAVO

The National Park Service Pacific West Region seeks inspection, servicing, and possible replacement of fire extinguishers at Lassen Volcanic National Park in Shasta County, California, with quotations due August 14 at 1400 Pacific. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 811310, $12.5 million size standard), foreclosing competition from non-small business concerns.

Place of performance includes two park locations: Mineral Headquarters (38050 Highway 36 East, Mineral, CA 96063) and Manzanita Lake Maintenance Yard (Building 133, northwest park entrance on Highway 89). The contractor must hold a California license and demonstrate five years' continuous experience in fire extinguisher inspection, testing, maintenance, and disposal.

The contractor must obtain liability insurance of at least $500,000 per person, per occurrence, and for property damage.

Base-year services cover annual inspections and maintenance for approximately 220 fire extinguishers across two service trips, including valve stem and O-ring replacements, gauge and strap replacements, ABC chemical replenishment, six-year tear-down services, and hydrostatic testing. The contractor must prepare written inventory reports and a 5-to-6-year maintenance schedule in Excel format, and dispose of all chemicals and defunct units. Optional line items cover replacement ABC fire extinguishers in four sizes (2.5#, 5#, 10#, and 20# Amerex or equivalent). The government will award a firm-fixed-price commercial item purchase order to the responsible quoter offering the most advantageous quotation, considering price and past performance.
