The State of North Dakota's Office of Management & Budget, State Procurement Office, is seeking bids for fire extinguishers and related services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued on September 11, 2025. The procurement covers ABC Multi-Purpose Stored Pressure Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishers and Class K Fire Extinguishers in various sizes including 2.5 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb, 20 lb, 2.5 gallon, and 6 liter units across multiple city zones. Key deliverables include new fire extinguisher units, annual maintenance inspections, 6-year maintenance, and hydrostatic testing. The bid has a question deadline of September 18, 2025, with final bid responses due by September 25, 2025. The contract period will run from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with potential options for up to three 24-month renewals and a possible 12-month extension. The procurement will award up to two contracts (one for Zone A and one for Zone B) based on the lowest priced responsive bid, with vendors required to provide additional pricing for percent off MSRP for extra items, parts, and installation labor. The contract is structured as a cooperative purchasing agreement, available to state entities, higher education institutions, other government entities, nonprofit entities, tribal agencies, and the International Peace Garden. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the broad eligibility suggests an open competitive process. Pricing will remain firm for the first contract year, with potential price adjustments upon renewal subject to STATE approval. No specific incumbent vendors are identified, and no particular infrastructure or technology integration requirements are noted. The total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, leaving potential vendors to prepare competitive bids based on the specified quantities and service requirements. Participation in the contract is not mandatory for potential purchasing entities, providing flexibility for organizations to utilize the contract as needed during the contract period.
