Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, under the Department of Defense, is conducting a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) for a Fire Station Alerting and Alarm (FSAA) System. This RFI seeks to identify sources capable of providing a complete FSAA solution that seamlessly integrates with the Government's existing communications and 911 infrastructure. The primary objective is to understand market capabilities to meet specific, critical integration requirements. Responses are due March 24, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI is for market research only, aiming to identify responsible sources for a comprehensive FSAA solution. The Government requires a system that can fully integrate with its current public safety ecosystem. The scope includes:
- Fire Station Alerting System (for 4 stations)
- Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) System (Primary/ALT Dispatch)
- Video Surveillance System (for 4 stations)
- Command & Control (C2) Software (Primary/ALT Dispatch)
- Supporting Infrastructure: VESTA-compatible workstations, network backhaul, display boards, ergonomic dispatch furniture, UPS.
- Turnkey Services: Installation, systems integration, testing, and as-built drawings.
Critical Integration Requirements
Solutions must natively integrate with the following existing platforms:
- Redundant Alerting via LMR Network: Integration with INDOPACOM IP2LMR trunking system and Motorola MCC7500 dispatch consoles.
- Native VESTA 911 Integration: Direct integration with the VESTA 911 system to ingest data without requiring separate dispatcher screens.
- Native C2 via LMR Network: Real-time situational display of mobile fire units by pulling location data directly from the Motorola LMR radio network.
- Existing Inter-Agency Video Architecture: Native integration with Avigilon video hardware/software architecture for direct sharing and control of video feeds without additional software or licensing.
Information Sought from Industry
Interested parties should provide a capability statement addressing:
- Company Profile: Name, address, CAGE, UEI, business size.
- General Capability: Summary of ability to provide overall scope and certification.
- Response to Critical Integration Constraints: Detailed technical approach and evidence for LMR alerting, VESTA, C2 LMR, and Avigilon integrations.
- Product Line & Approach: Description of products and approach to providing a turnkey solution.
- Industry Feedback: Professional feedback on feasibility or challenges of integration constraints.
