Quick Summary
The Treasury Common Services Center (TCSC), on behalf of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source contract to ArchKey/MONA (Mona Electric Group, Inc.) for the removal and replacement of three fire alarm control panels at 2070 Chain Bridge Road, Vienna, VA 22182. This action is justified because ArchKey/MONA is the GSA-designated and authorized contractor for work on the base building fire alarm system at this facility. Responses from responsible sources are due by April 06, 2026, at 10:00 am EST.
Scope of Work
This requirement involves the removal and replacement of three existing fire alarm control panels located on the second floor in NOC (GSA) Room 2953, Open Area Room 2043, and Switch Room 2069. The existing panels will be replaced with one Gamewell/FCI S3 addressable fire alarm control panel, which must be networked into the base building fire alarm system. The new panel will control NOC (GSA) Rooms 2953 and 2054, Switch Rooms 2068 and 2069, and Battery Room 2067. The work includes all labor, materials, programming, trade permits, fire alarm submittals, system pre-testing, inspections, and coordination with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). An optional alternate includes installing a remote LCD annunciator on the 3rd Floor Escort/Security Room 331.
