What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE ARMY
Location: Ahsahka, ID
NAICS: 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction
Scope: Federal

This is a special notice prepared in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFARS PGI) 206.302-1(d) “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, is executing a contract for the Expansion of the existing Siemens FireFinder XLS fire alarm and suppression system.

This project will expand the existing, in-service Siemens FireFinder XLS life-safety platform by adding addressable signaling line circuits, initiating devices (including smoke and heat detectors, and manual pull stations), notification appliances, and associated loop and network hardware.

Due to the proprietary architecture of the in-service equipment and strict compliance with UL 864 and NFPA 72 compatibility listings, the Government intends to specify the use of proprietary Siemens equipment for the integration-dependent portions of the work.

This includes FireFinder XLS components, SureWire addressable devices, and XNET network hardware.

The statutory authority for this brand name restriction to be made as a part of the larger effort is 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(c) (and FAR 6.103-1(b)), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

The Government intends to solicit the action in July 2027.

The NAICS is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and the associated Small Business Size Standard is $45 Million.

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS OR BIDS.

This is a notice of intent to procure a brand-name product for the restricted, integration-dependent scope of the expansion.

The Government is seeking information from responsible sources who can provide a solution that is fully and seamless...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
