Sole Source Request to Purchase Firetrol Protection Systems Replacement Parts

The Mississippi State University is seeking to purchase replacement parts for the Firetrol Protection Systems. The required items include monitor modules, smoke detectors, heat detectors, and pull stations. The university has determined that Firetrol is the only authorized regional distributor and service provider for the facility's existing Notifier fire alarm system, making them the only practical source for the required parts and service. The estimated cost of the items is $6,138, which is considered reasonable due to the specialized equipment and expertise necessary to maintain the system's safe and reliable operation. • The required items are proprietary to the existing fire alarm system and are only available through the authorized provider. • The cost reflects the specialized equipment and expertise necessary to maintain the system's safe and reliable operation. • The university has examined existing service contracts with Firetrol to ensure that replacing old devices is not included. • The devices need to communicate with the Notifier alarm system in order to fix the trouble messages, making Firetrol the only company that can provide the required parts and service.
