REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Procurement Office: The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Yuma Proving Ground (MICC-YPG), is currently conducting market research to attempt to bolster government and industry coordination and partnership in supporting the United States Army Arctic Regions Test Center (ARTC) at the Fort Greely, Alaska. This RFI is being issued to inquire about performing and servicing all portable fire extinguishers located at the Fort Greely, Alaska. The service contract covers the annual inspection, maintenance, and certification of portable fire extinguishers located at Fort Greely, Alaska, for the U.S. Army Arctic Regions Test Center (ARTC). All work must be performed in accordance with the publications cited in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), including NFPA 10, Portable Fire Extinguishers, and 29 CFR 1910.157, the OSHA standard governing portable fire extinguishers. The types of extinguishers vary by facility requirements. Most buildings and vehicles use dry chemical extinguishers (Types ABC or K), while server rooms require CO? extinguishers. Maintenance requirements differ by extinguisher type. All extinguishers must receive an annual visual inspection and tagging in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.157(e)(2). Additionally, based on the manufacturing date, dry chemical extinguishers require either a 6?year recharge or a 12?year hydrostatic test.

ARTC at Fort Greely, Alaska requires a contractor with the appropriate expertise in portable fire extinguisher maintenance, inspection, and certification. Proper performance of these services is essential to sustaining operations. Failure to maintain and service the extinguishers could disrupt mission activities, lead to facility closures, and increase the risk of property loss due to inoperable equipment and the inability to suppress a fire when needed.
