The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is seeking quotations for the purchase, installation, and commissioning of an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) listed Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and a matching fire alarm control panel at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Olympia, WA. The work includes removal of existing equipment, installation of new wireless‑capable panels (Bosch 9512G series or DMP XR550), integration with IP and cellular backup communications, provision of battery backup, end‑user training, and one‑year warranty support. The contract will be firm‑fixed‑price, with a performance period from 1 Sep 2026 to 31 Aug 2027. Vendors must demonstrate recent experience (last 3 years) on similar IDS/FA projects for government agencies, provide past‑performance references, and submit technical and price volumes as instructed. The award will be based on best value, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price.
• Scope: supply and install IDS hardware, fire alarm panels, wiring, wireless repeaters, keypads, sensors, battery backup, and related accessories across five buildings.
• Delivery: equipment within 180 days after award; full system operational by 31 Aug 2027.
• Evaluation: Technical approach, past performance (minimum three examples), and price (best‑value).
• Mandatory submissions: technical volume ≤ 15 pages, price volume, past‑performance data, certifications, and manufacturer dealer letter.
• Contact: Melissa Niemi (email above) for questions (deadline 20 Jul 2026).
