Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit quotes electronically by February 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM CDT. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for January 27, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The award will be made on a best-value basis, with technical capability (70%) and past performance being more important than price (30%), requiring contractors to demonstrate understanding of requirements, professional experience of key personnel, and past performance of similar work.

This is a total small business set-aside contract under NAICS code 238220 with a size standard of $19 million. The period of performance is from February 7, 2025, to March 7, 2025, with work limited to weekdays between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The fire suppression system, originally installed by Tougaloo College in the mid-1990s, is currently non-operational and requires comprehensive rehabilitation. Contractors must have a NICET Level III/IV Sprinkler Technician or licensed Fire Protection Engineer to prepare design and layout, and must comply with NFPA 13 (2022 edition) standards and local Water Authority requirements. The project scope includes furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision to complete the system conversion, with specific requirements for documentation, permits, and technical submissions.
