Additional Details
The Department of Homeland Security, through the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), has issued a presolicitation notice indicating its intent to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract for the upgrade of fire alarm systems at five residential duplex buildings in Homer, Alaska. This procurement is being managed by USCG Base Kodiak, with the place of performance specified as Homer, AK.
The primary objective of this procurement is to ensure the continued safety and operational integrity of the fire alarm systems within USCG housing units. The scope of work encompasses the upgrade of existing fire alarm infrastructure, specifically involving the Edwards IO-64 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel and associated sensors. The intended outcome is to maintain and enhance the reliability of fire detection and notification capabilities, thereby safeguarding residents and property within these government-owned facilities.
This action is being pursued on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 12.102, as the required services are available from only one responsible source—Alaska Fire Protection LLC, located at 14011 Knob Hill DR Unit B, Eagle River, Alaska 99577-7602 (UEI: NVSFJ16CQE41). The justification for this sole source award is rooted in the vendor’s unique institutional knowledge, technical history, and status as an OEM-authorized provider for the proprietary Edwards IO-64 system. Engaging any other vendor would necessitate significant investment in training and familiarization, potentially resulting in system degradation, increased risk, and duplicative costs due to the complexity of the existing wiring, configurations, and historical maintenance data.
The procurement falls under NAICS Code 561621 (Security Systems Services, except Locksmiths), with Product Service Code J012. There are no set-aside requirements associated with this opportunity, and the acquisition will utilize commercial item procedures as prescribed in FAR Part 12.
While this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested organizations may submit written statements of capability and qualifications to the designated point of contact, Robbin Kessler ([email protected]), by June 11, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Alaska time. Such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The government reserves full discretion in making this determination. Oral communications will not be accepted.
This notice remains active and can be referenced on SAM.gov under Opportunity ID d006112c22b24d6dbe08700a04b990bc. Contractors considering this opportunity should note the specialized requirements and the government’s rationale for a sole source award, as these factors are expected to remain constant throughout the contract lifecycle.
