This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, quote, and/or invitation for bid. The purpose of this notice is to determine the availability of radio frequency fire alarm systems which meet the salient characteristics of Monaco Enterprises, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
NAVFAC MIDLANT is working on a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for various projects at Joint Expeditionary Base, Little Creek-Fort Story (JEB LC-FS), Virginia Beach, VA. This Class J&A would authorize the inclusion of brand-name specifications, under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for fire alarm equipment by Monaco Enterprises, Inc. It is anticipated that the proposed Class J&A will cover various construction projects from Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 to 2030.
The initial effort is the starting point and backbone for bringing the Installation fire alarm system up to current technology. Follow-on projects will install a Monaco brand transmitter at each specific building fire alarm system to transmit the signal via radio.
Technical specifications pertaining to the equipment/systems can be found at: https://monaco-inc.com/products/ by downloading their 2025 Monaco Products Catalog ver. 1/26, which include cut-sheets.
Based on internal Government research, the following was found to be sufficient preliminary rationale to permit other than full and open competition under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only One Responsible Source/Limited Number of Sources and No Other Type of Property or Services Will Satisfy the Needs of the Agency.
1. Maintain installation networked facilities control and monitoring system so that all transmitters can be upgraded from a central server versus a hybrid system composed of many different transmitters and associated configuration/programming software
2. Avoid the significant operational burden and cost of having maintenance and engineering staff become proficient with the configuration, programming, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of transmitters from multiple manufacturers.

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR INVITATION FOR BID. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses capable of performing design-bid-build (DBB) construction services for project RM 7-01, Building 1029, at the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center, NAVSUPPACT Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (DET Philadelphia Navy Yard (PNY) Annex, Philadelphia, PA. The purpose of this project is to repair the existing electrical system in Building 1029 at the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center (NFPC), to provide a safe, environmentally controlled work area. Building 1029 is a 90,180 SF high bay industrial facility that was constructed in 1979. It is the inside machine shop for the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center and is responsible for the milling of all sizes of propellers for surface ships and submarines. Building 1029 equipment includes propeller profilers, PROMS (Propeller Robotic Optical Milling System), and various others milling machines, lathes, saws and grinders in support of the propeller manufacturing operations. These large profilers can mill propellers up to 24 feet in diameter and require a controlled environment to maintain milling tolerances. This project will repair the existing HVAC system and the installation of Air Conditioning in the High Bay of Building 1029. These repairs, replacements and equipment additions will improve the workplace environment inside the machine shop of Building 1029 at the NFPC with improved heating and ventilation to support ship and submarine propeller manufacturing and shall meet the operational requirements of manufacturing propellers within the specified temperature range to maintain its’ critical tolerance level for the future profilers to be located in the central bays of Building 1029. This Project will also replace the low voltage 480V aluminum cables with copper wiring between the substation and various power panels. In addition, all aluminum conductors from distribution panel boards to subpanels and associated transformers will be removed and replaced with copper conductors. New circuits will also be provided for the new equipment, and smoke detectors, with required fire alarm system interfacing in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements. Lastly, this project scope will also include the removal of abandoned steam lines and asbestos-containing and other hazardous materials. The work on this project must be performed in such a manner to prevent the equipment and operations housed within Building 1029 to not be visible when the replacement work is performed. The Contractor must coordinate with the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center to establish a construction phasing and sequence of construction which will meet the user requirements for continued operation and result in the least amount of disruption to the propeller shop operations and in a manner which would allow the Contractor to complete the work to achieve these requirements. Due to the layout of the equipment within the building and continued operation of the existing cranes within the building, construction of scaffolding or work platforms within the building is not feasible. The building must remain operational during all work of this project due to the nature of the propeller shop activities, work schedule which must be maintained and 24/7 shift work hours. Equipment will be allowed to be taken off-line for scheduled time frames as the work schedule/flow allows providing areas to allow overhead work to be performed. This will result in work phasing requirements. A work phasing sequence plan shall be established in coordination with the user. The Contractor will be required to follow this sequence of work indicated. The user, through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), will be allowed to alter the sequence and direct the Contractor to work in a different area, based on scheduled equipment use.
