Notice of Sole Source Requirement for USCG ATTC Elizabeth City

The US Coast Guard Aviation Technical Training Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina is procuring design, installation, and provision of fire detection and sprinkler systems for their Maintenance Training Unit facilities. This solicitation seeks a contractor to install fire detection equipment including multi-criteria detectors, control relay modules, and ceiling-mounted strobe lights in the HC-144 MTU Training Area, as well as sprinkler system installation in the Training Simulator Data Room using Schedule 40 black steel pipe and connecting to a 6-inch fire main. The work must be performed by a contractor with drawings prepared by a minimum NICET Level IV designer and must comply with National Fire Protection Association 72 standards, with all work conducted during normal business hours Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The evaluation will follow FAR 13.106-2 procedures, awarding to the lowest priced offeror rated as technically acceptable based on their ability to provide the requested items in accordance with solicitation requirements. Quotations are due by September 6, 2025 at 12:00 PM EST and must be submitted via email to jeremy.a.wood@uscg.mil with the solicitation number 70Z03825QS0000006 in the subject line.

This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 238220 with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. The Coast Guard anticipates awarding this as a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to The Hiller Companies, LLC (CAGE Code 1DA54), as they are the proprietary owner of the technical data and specifications required for the current fire detection system design. The justification for other than full and open competition cites that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements since the government does not own the rights to the cabling, technical data, and specifications necessary for the work. The specific quantities include installing two sprinkler heads in the data room, five multi-criteria detectors, one duct detector housing, one control relay module, and two ceiling-mounted strobe lights. Work is expected to commence immediately upon contract award and will be performed at the Coast Guard Aviation Technical Training Center located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
