Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for the Fire Alarm Replacement project at Buildings 2318 & 2416 at Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB), ID. This effort aims to replace antiquated fire alarm systems in two dormitories with a new addressable Fire Alarm / Mass Notification System (FA/MNS). The project magnitude is estimated between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Responses are due by April 20, 2026.
Purpose
This is a market research effort, not a solicitation, to gauge interest from total small businesses, with potential for further socioeconomic set-asides. The Air Force seeks to identify qualified contractors capable of performing this fire alarm system replacement.
Scope of Work
The project involves replacing existing fire alarm devices and panels in two MHAFB dormitories (Building 2318 and Building 2416) with a new addressable FA/MNS. The new system will be a Honeywell Silent Knight EVS Series, communicating with the MHAFB AES IntelliNet 2.0 base-wide monitoring system and including radio communications to the Fire Department. The work will be performed in two sequential stages: Base for Building 2318 and Option 1 for Building 2416 (if exercised). Construction services include planning, acquisition, labor, project management, installation, and commissioning, all in compliance with NFPA 72, UFC standards, and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). The total period of performance is not to exceed 600 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, assuming Option 1 is exercised.
Key Requirements
Contractors must be licensed by Honeywell to work on their fire alarm systems. The FA/MNS must communicate with the AEC Fire Subscriber Transmitter and report to the Fire Station and Base Operations Center. Two separate proposals are required: a Base Bid for Building 2318 and an Option 1 bid for Building 2416. Key personnel must be identified for security vetting, and multiple project schedules and submittals are required at various stages.
