Description: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Installation Management (DM) and DLA Information Operations (J6), Enterprise Capabilities (EC) Portfolio (J62B) are seeking an Enterprise approach to Fire Protection Control Systems (FPCS). FPCS encompasses a wide array of fire and life safety systems that are installed at Department of Defense (DoD) real property facilities and include the control systems that ensure the proper function of the systems. A control system (CS) as it pertains to FPCS typically consists of networked digital controllers and a user interface used to monitor and generally control the fire and life safety equipment and systems. The intended Enterprise approach to FPCS allows for the appropriate level of DoD-required cybersecurity measures to be integrated throughout the planning, design and construction, renovation, and repair of new and existing fire and life safety systems based on the CS architecture of the equipment/systems.  

DLA’s intent is a strategy that awards a firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with vendor(s) with multiple individual Task Orders (TO) issued to the vendor(s) to fulfill future operational needs at sites with DLA presence. DLA may require multiple vendors in support of this effort for sustainment, maintenance, and new projects at the DLA headquarters location, the four (4) DLA host sites, and some tenant sites throughout the Continental United States (CONUS).  Work will occur at the DLA headquarters at Ft. Belvoir, VA, and the four DLA host locations (Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR), Richmond, VA; Defense Distribution Center Susquehanna (DDCS), New Cumberland, PA; Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), Columbus, OH; and Defense Distribution Depot San Joaquin (DDJC), Tracy, CA).
