Sacn fire system inspections

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region has published a Special Notice seeking to procure fire system inspections for SACN through a justification of other than full and open competition. This notice, posted on December 16, 2025, represents a sole-source procurement action for specialized fire system and fire extinguisher inspection services. The procurement is being pursued under simplified acquisition procedures and is not designated as a set-aside contract. The contracting officers have determined that only one qualified vendor is available to provide the required services in the local area. This Special Notice notifies the contracting community of the agency's intent to award a contract through a non-competitive process.

The primary objective is to engage a vendor with demonstrated expertise in fire system inspections and fire extinguisher servicing who has maintained continuity of service at the facility for three to five years. A Dynamic Small Business Search confirmed that no other vendors within the applicable NAICS code (238220 - Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) offer both fire system and fire extinguisher inspection services in the local area. Contractors interested in challenging this sole-source determination must submit any protests or concerns by the deadline of December 26, 2025. The selected vendor will be evaluated based on familiarity with the current fire system infrastructure, park layout, and proven track record of consistent performance in inspections and repairs. Contract award will be based on a fair and reasonable price determination conducted through standard price analysis techniques. This procurement falls under PSC Category H363 (Inspection - Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems).
