Fire pump system
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.MISSION INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMMAND.419TH CSB.W6QM MICC-FT DRUM · Response deadline: Tue, 10 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Army is seeking a contractor to provide a fire pump system. This falls under NAICS code 339999, which covers "All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing." Fire pump systems are critical safety infrastructure used to maintain water pressure for fire suppression systems in military facilities. These systems typically include pumps, controllers, drivers (electric motors or diesel engines), and associated accessories that activate automatically when fire protection systems trigger.
Given the military installation context and the 1230 classification code, this likely involves equipment for facility maintenance, repair, or upgrade of fire protection infrastructure. Fire pump systems must meet stringent National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, particularly NFPA 20, and may require specific Army or DoD certifications.

- Be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov)

No specific socioeconomic subcategory (such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB) is listed in the metadata, so all qualified small businesses may compete.
How to put together a competitive bid
For manufacturing and equipment supply contracts under small business set-asides, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Fire pump systems are life-safety equipment. See the solicitation for exact specifications, but prepare to demonstrate compliance with NFPA 20, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listing, and any Factory Mutual (FM) approval requirements. Document your product's flow rates, pressure capabilities, and power requirements.
Past performance: The Army evaluates contractor history. Gather references from similar facility equipment installations, especially on military or federal installations. Document on-time delivery and any defect-free warranty periods.
Pricing strategy: Small business set-asides reduce competition from large manufacturers, but expect competition from specialized pump distributors and qualified small manufacturers. Obtain current pricing from your supply chain; lead times for specialized fire protection equipment can be lengthy.
Quality assurance: Prepare a quality control plan showing inspection, testing, and startup procedures. Factory acceptance testing and witnessed performance tests are common for fire pump procurements.
Installation and service: See the solicitation to determine whether this is supply-only or includes installation, commissioning, and training. Factor in technician certifications if startup service is required.
