Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force has issued a Sources Sought notice for market research to identify qualified small businesses capable of replacing 1,665 fire suppression sprinkler heads and pendants and servicing fire suppression alarm systems at 15 Missile Alert Facilities (MAFs) across Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, including FE Warren AFB, WY.

Fire Suppression Alarm System Service: Servicing the alarm systems at 14 MAFs, which includes calibrating gas detectors, replacing batteries, and updating software.
Testing: Conducting pre-installation and post-installation pressure leak tests, with required repairs for any identified leaks.
