Notifiers

The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations seeks Notifier brand fire alarm equipment and components for domestic and overseas facilities through a Blanket Purchase Agreement, with proposals due August 19, 2026 and questions due July 27, 2026. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside; the procurement vehicle is restricted to sole-source award from Notifier-authorized vendors due to proprietary incompatibility with competing fire alarm systems already installed at State Department posts worldwide.

Place of performance is 1701 North Myer Drive, SA-06, Room 114, Arlington, Virginia; equipment supports facilities across the continental United States and overseas. The BPA runs for one base year with four optional one-year renewals through 2031. NAICS code is 561621, Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths); PSC is 4210, Fire Fighting Equipment.

Contractors must supply all equipment exclusively as manufactured by Notifier and fulfill Blanket Purchase Order calls within fifteen business days of receipt. Shipping costs must be incorporated into equipment pricing and not billed separately; all deliveries are via UPS or FedEx to the designated Arlington address. The parts list covers central processing units, addressable modules, intelligent detectors, power supplies, notification appliances, network components, and associated hardware and accessories.

Award will be made on a Best Value basis with technical considerations weighted more heavily than cost. No incumbent contractor is identified. An Independent Government Cost Estimate has been established but remains classified. Amendment A00001 was issued July 29, 2026, and does not extend the proposal deadline. All communications are conducted exclusively via email to huntt@state.gov.
