About this opportunity

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific (NAVFAC Pacific) is conducting a market research survey to identify potential sources for a specialized fire suppression system for the HSC-25 Hangar Complex at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The agency is specifically seeking suppliers who can provide a fire suppression system equivalent to the Safespill Ignitable Liquid Drainage Floor Assembly (ILDFA), with detailed technical specifications including a hollow aluminum extruded floor, perforated top surface, and connected trench system for liquid removal. Potential suppliers must demonstrate their product can meet precise requirements such as FM Approval Standard 6090, zone configurations, liquid detection capabilities, and specific performance metrics including point load capacity, floor weight capacity, and water flow requirements. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive technical data for evaluation by February 27, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. H.S.T., with submissions sent electronically to Katie Johnson. The government emphasizes that this is a market research effort, not a formal solicitation, and responses will become government property.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates this is a Fiscal Year 2025 Military Construction project with no specific set-aside designations for small businesses or other categories. While no incumbent contractor is mentioned, the system requires complex specifications including 6000 series Marine-Grade Aluminum floor profiles, point load capacity of 96,000 lbs per 9"X16" area, and tie-down points rated at 10,000 lbs. The project involves electrical and power requirements of 480V 60A for pump skids and 120V 10A for control panels, with additional specifications for flushing system water flow (200 gpm) and pressure (100 psi). Containment tank capacity ranges from 15,000 to 70,000 gallons, suggesting a potentially significant infrastructure investment. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 423610 for Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of N012 for Fire Control Equipment Installation.

Notice text

Notice of intent to use a brand name product. The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Pacific (NAVFAC Pacific) is performing a market survey to determine if other potential sources of supply can provide a fire suppression system that has equal performance and listing/approval requirements as the Safespill Ignitable Liquid Drainage Floor Assembly (ILDFA).

Fiscal Year 2025 Military Construction P-2301, HSC-25 Hangar Complex, Andersen Air Force Base, Guam requires a fire suppression system with the following characteristics:

  • Hollow aluminum extruded floor with a perforated top surface, connected to a trench system to remove any spilled liquid to an acceptable location
  • Approved under FM Approval Standard 6090
  • Divided into zones with a maximum area of 1,240 ft2 (115 m2) each
  • Each zone shall have its own solenoid valve, fiber optic liquid detector sensors, and flushing manifold
  • Each flushing manifold requires 50 gallons per minute (GPM) (189 liters per minute) of flushing water
  • The maximum spacing of the trenches shall be 40.37 ft (12.3 m) from the center of each trench
  • Requires the use of prefabricated aluminum trenches
  • The internal slope of the trench is required to be a minimum of 0.5% (0.3°) to ensure liquid drains to the lowest point. The minimum depth of a trench should be 16 inches (404 mm) to allow for proper flow of spilled liquid and piping conduit.
  • The ILDFA floor profiles shall be manufactured out of 6000 series Marine-Grade Aluminum
  • Point load capacity: 96,000 lbs./(9”X16”) = 666 psi (46 bar)
  • Tie down points shall have a load rating of 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg)
  • Floor weight capacity: 350 psi/2.41 mpa
  • Pump skid power requirement: 480V 60 A
  • Control Panel Power Requirement: 120V 10A
  • Flushing system water flow requirement: 200 gpm/720 lpm
  • Flushing system water pressure requirement: 100 psi/7 bar
  • Containment tank capacity: 15,000 – 70,000 Gallons
