Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Seattle District has issued a Special Notice (Notice of Intent) for a brand name or equal requirement for the Monaco D-21 Fire Alarm Transceiver and Panel. This requirement is for a future FY26 project titled “Construct Hydrant Fueling Facility – Area C (DESC2506), Fairchild ANG, WA.” This notice, issued under the authority of DFARS 206.302-1(c)(2) for brand name or equal descriptions, invites interested parties to submit capability statements. Submissions are due by April 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT.
Scope of Requirement
USACE intends to require the Monaco Fire Alarm Transceiver and Fire Panel, specifically the Monaco D-21 fire alarm radio receiver and the Monaco MAAP-X panel (or newest version). The justification for this brand name requirement is Fire Alarm Panel Standardization at Fairchild Air Force Base, as mandated by the Fairchild AFB Design Guide (2022) and an AFCEC/CO Memorandum. The base's existing fire alarm reporting system exclusively uses the Monaco D-21 system, requiring all new panels and devices to match the manufacturer for compatibility. The new facility's transceiver must transmit a Zone Identification (ZID) to the Monaco D-21 VHF Radio Alarm System (138.925 MHz) at base fire stations. Standardization is necessary to ensure compatibility with existing equipment, software, and service contracts, avoiding substantial duplication of costs for installation, training, and reprogramming.
