Brand Name Class J & A for Fire Alarm Control Panel Replacement Standardization
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The United States Air Force, through 772 ESS/PKD at Tyndall Air Force Base, is seeking industry feedback on a proposed five-year renewal of a brand-name Class Justification and Approval for standardizing fire alarm control panels across USAF installations. The effort would allow each installation to select a standard FACP brand based on existing inventory for new or replacement units, with procurement through local dealers. The RFI asks manufacturers and suppliers about sales data, access to proprietary diagnostic software for government personnel, training discounts, parts availability, and any information that could challenge FACP standardization as a cost-reduction approach. Responses are due by June 8, 2026, and may be submitted in response to the questions in the attachment; primary contacts are Mr. Tommy Leos and Stephen M. Day.
