About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) is conducting a sources sought notice for comprehensive fire protection system installation and maintenance at Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois. The agency seeks small business firms capable of performing preventive maintenance, inspection, testing, certification, repair, alteration, demolition, and minor construction for various fire suppression systems, including wet/dry chemical systems, fire pump systems, exterior propane systems, and carbon dioxide extinguisher recharge systems. The primary objective is to conduct market research to determine whether the procurement should be set aside for small business concerns. Interested contractors must submit a Sources Sought Contractor Information Form by May 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM local time, with electronic submissions sent to christopher.r.knuth.civ@us.navy.mil. Respondents are required to provide information about their small business status, previous relevant experience, and demonstrate capability to perform the specified work.
The procurement falls under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, with a small business size standard of $19 million. If adequate interest is not received from small businesses, the solicitation will be issued as unrestricted without further notice. The anticipated contract award is scheduled for September 2025, and the project will involve furnishing all labor, transportation, supervision, materials, and equipment necessary to execute the fire protection system requirements. Contractors submitting as a mentor-protege joint venture under the 8(a) program must provide SBA approval of their mentor-protege agreement to be considered a small business. The government emphasizes that this sources sought notice is not a formal solicitation and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract, but rather serves as a preliminary market research tool to inform future procurement strategies.
