OEM SALWICO CONSILIUM FIRE ALARM PANEL AND ASSOCIATED INSTALLATION SERVICES

Solicitation Modification 001- This amendment is issued to revise the solicitation closing date, update the Period of Performance (POP), and clarify evaluation criteria in support of fair competition and the Government's best-value determination under FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items.

Additionally, the Government received a request from an interested vendor seeking additional time to prepare a technically complete proposal, obtain OEM authorization verification documentation, and to develop supporting technical information with the engineering, drafting programming, integration and installation requirements associated with this effort. The Government determined that extending the solicitation response period would promote fair competition and allow additional time for interested vendors to adequately address the technical requirements of the solicitation.

Accordingly, the solicitation closing date is hereby extended from: May 13th, 2026 at 4 PM Eastern Standard Time to May 27th, 2026 at 4 PM Eastern Standard Time. The Period of Performance is revised from: May 18th, 2026 to August 7th, 2026 to June 2nd, 2026 to August 14th, 2026.

As stated in the solicitation, award will be made on a best-value basis considering price and non-price factors.   

Due to the technical complexity associated with replacement of the obsolete Mircom PRO-2000XS Fire Alarm Panel (FAP), integration of the Coast Guard approved Salwico Consilium Model 5831813-00A system, development of prototype installation drawings/plans, and interfacing with the vessel's Machinery Control and Monitoring System (MCMS), the Government recognizes that vendors may possess varying levels of technical familiarity and integration experience associated with this requirement. As documented with the requirement background, the obsolete Mircom system is no longer supported by the manufacturer and requires specialized technical expertise for replacement and integration efforts. 

The Government's technical evaluation may consider, but is not limited to, the following:

• Demonstrated familiarity and prior experience with the obsolete Mircom PRO-2000XS fire alarm system;
• Demonstrated familiarity and prior experience with the Salwico Consilium Model 5831813-00A system or comparable Consilium marine application fire detection systems;
• Demonstrated experience integrating fire detection systems with Machinery Control and Monitoring Systems (MCMS);
• Technical capability to develop installation drawings/plans and perform associated engineering support; 
• Relevant past performance involving maritime vessels and comparable marine fire detection system installations and integrations; 
• Ability to execute the required work with the required schedule and operational constraints;
• Verification of OEM authorization, as applicable; and
• Overall technical understanding, quotation completeness; and
• Price.

The Government may consider the depth, relevancy, and quality of an offeror's demonstrated technical familiarity and integration experience as part of its evaluation of technical capability, performance risk, price, and overall best value to the Government.

Failure to provide sufficient detail regarding technical capability, relevant past performance, technical approach, or OEM authorization documentation may result in the quotation being determined technically unacceptable and ineligible for award consideration.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Offerors are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for amendments and acknowledging all solicitation modifications prior to quotation submission.
