FY25 Fire Alarm Inspections at BHAM Air Guard

The state of Alabama, specifically Jefferson County, is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive fire alarm inspection and testing services for the 117th Air Refueling Wing Sumpter Smith Air National Guard Base located in Birmingham. The procurement involves a detailed Scope of Work (SOW) requiring inspection and testing of fire alarm systems across 23 different buildings, to be completed between the contract award date and September 30, 2025. Contractors must conduct inspections according to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommended procedures during weekdays from 7am to 5:30pm. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 11, 2025, at 10:00am at 5401 East Lake Blvd, with attendance and sign-in sheet participation required for quote submission eligibility. The primary point of contact is CMSgt Antonio Robinson, who can be reached at (205) 714-2935 or antonio.robinson@us.af.mil. Vendors are limited to equipment inspection and testing, with any additional maintenance or repairs available at extra cost. The contract is firm and fixed-priced for Fiscal Year 2025, with payment terms set at net 30 days, paid in arrears after service completion.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and attending the mandatory site visit. While the SOW does not indicate a specific budget range, the procurement is for a single fiscal year with fixed pricing. Potential bidders must be registered in Alabama Buys and comply with state procurement regulations, including E-Verify program enrollment and adherence to the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act. Vendors must also be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State and capable of accepting multiple forms of electronic payment. The state reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses, suggesting that competitive pricing and demonstrated technical capability will be key evaluation criteria for this fire alarm inspection contract.
