All work must comply with NFPA-25, IFC, and related fire safety codes. Bidders must possess all required certifications for fire sprinkler inspection and repair work, provide all necessary tools and equipment, furnish original or approved replacement parts with warranties, and supply updated operations and maintenance manuals for replaced components.

The contract period runs from final signature through June 30, 2028, with an option to extend for two additional years under mutually agreeable terms, not to exceed four years total. The Wyoming Department of Corrections reserves the right to make multiple or no awards and will notify the awarded bidder of contract renewal intent at least 60 days prior to the June 30, 2028 expiration date.
