About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to Siemens Industry Inc for emergency repairs to their fire alarm system. This is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, but rather a formal notification of the agency's intent to proceed with a single-source procurement. The contract falls under NAICS code 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a size standard of $41.5 million in annual receipts. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding $250,000. The agency has determined that only Siemens can satisfy their specific technical requirements due to the specialized nature of their existing fire alarm infrastructure.
The sole source justification is based on Siemens being the contracted vendor and only authorized technician capable of installing and maintaining the agency's specialized security and alarm systems. The scope of work includes providing and programming a Desigo 50-point panel, installing remote annunciators, pull stations, intelligent relays, smoke detectors, duct detectors, and delivering system programming, training, and one-year warranty coverage. Interested parties have only three calendar days from the August 26, 2025 publication date to respond with clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The response deadline is September 5, 2025, though the agency emphasizes that no solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Any responses must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that would warrant reconsidering the sole source approach for this specialized fire alarm system repair project.
