The Purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to outline the requirements for maintaining fire suppression systems at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) facilities, including Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, and the San Antonio Military Medical Center. The selected contractor will manage inspection, testing, maintenance, and emergency repairs for these systems, adhering to Texas state licensing and current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Key responsibilities include scheduling maintenance with facility managers, conducting semiannual inspections, and providing emergency services within three hours of notification. The contractor must submit detailed reports post-inspection and maintain safety protocols in compliance with OSHA and environmental regulations. Quality control measures will be in place to ensure standards are met, with the government holding the right to inspect contractor performance. The contractor will also be responsible for managing hazardous materials according to environmental guidelines. Additionally, background checks for employees and adherence to security protocols are mandated. Overall, the PWS emphasizes safety, compliance, and quality in fire safety management within JBSA facilities.

The Department of the Air Force is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential contractors for Fire Suppression System Maintenance Services at JBSA Fort Sam Houston. This initiative, reflected in a DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS), aims to gather feedback on the project requirements from interested vendors. Contractors are asked to provide various details, including their business status (small business designation), a capabilities statement reflecting relevant experience, and inquiries related to the PWS. The anticipated services are outlined in a tentative structure for required maintenance and services over five years, including semi-annual and annual maintenance, emergency repairs, and hydrostatic testing. Submissions must be made by October 21, 2024, and are strictly voluntary; no contracts will be awarded based on this RFI. Responses should be sent to the designated contact via email, with proprietary information clearly identified. This RFI serves as a market research tool to inform the government's later acquisition strategy without obligating any party to a contract.
