View moreThe Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing this combined synopsis/solicitation for the replacement and upgrade of the fire alarm system at Crescent House. The project requires the installation of an Edwards EST4 fire alarm control panel, as compatible alternative panels from other manufacturers will not be accepted to ensure uniformity across facility sites. The scope includes replacing all peripheral devices in Apartment 110—consisting of one addressable and two non-addressable smoke detectors, one horn/strobe, and one pull station—and performing necessary troubleshooting to correct a known MAP fault and potential wiring issues. Contractors are expected to provide 10 man-hours for these repairs; any requirements beyond this allocation or the identification of significant wiring degradation may result in separate solicitations or onsite repairs by local personnel.
This procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSBC) set-aside under NAICS code 561621, Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths), and PSC K063, Modification of Equipment- Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems. The primary technical requirements include the provision of Viking VK302 sprinkler heads or an equivalent, and the installation of horn strobes rather than a speaker strobe system. While the existing EST3 panel architecture includes 77 non-addressable smoke detectors, these units are independent 120v devices not tied into the fire alarm panel. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty on all installed, replaced, or reused equipment and conduct a one-hour exit brief for staff upon successful system testing and completion.
Solicitation number 36C24126Q0434 is managed by point of contact Yolanda Rankin. The response deadline is May 6, 2026, following an extension provided in an amendment. Two documents are attached to the notice: the original solicitation posted on April 20, 2026, and an amendment posted on April 30, 2026, which contains responses to technical inquiries and the modified performance schedule. Technical documentation, including the original installation SDU program and fire/life safety inspection certificates, will be made available at the panel during the upgrade.
