Currently we purchase fire extinguishers thru GCSS-Army either Class II or IX. This contract is for the entire MCoE to use for building Fire Extinguishers with their own Line of Accounting (LOA), with DOTS as the lead/manager. All vehicle BII fire extinguishers will be done by the DOTS. Fire extinguishers are a requirement for maintenance support, part of vehicle BII, and a requirement for buildings by the Fire Department and Staff Inspection Program (SIP). If we do not keep this capability then this will affect the Operational Readiness (OR) rates of MCoE vehicles, and we will fail facility/building inspections. This will degrade training and will cause non conducts and will affect ARP RI NT, and cause mission failure. Training will cease and will affect graduation requirements. All requirements are per NFPA-10, AR 420-1 and MCoE regulation 420-90. 1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s) for annual inspection, maintenance/repair, refill/recharge/discharge, disposal and hydrostatic testing for all fire extinguishers utilized by DOTS and all MCoE Training Brigades for facilities and vehicles per Army Regulation.

The services requested will not be for all extinguishers at one time but as they become unserviceable and/or they are due routine services. Each BPA call will have a maximum completion window of 10 Calendar days after placement. The Contractor shall come to 1x location where all fire extinguishers will be located, the contractor will NEVER get the fire extinguishers from the vehicles or the buildings.

MCoE organizations and DOTS have various types of buildings which will require Multipurpose Dry Chemical fire extinguishers such as Class A, B, and C. Extinguisher components requiring servicing and repair shall include O-ring, valve stems, gauges, hose bands and clips, pull pin, nozzles, or as deemed necessary, all other fire extinguisher components. Upon annual inspection, all repairs will require an approved quote prior to service completion. If the cost of repair exceeds the cost of replacement, then replacement by the Government will be required. Type 1 fire extinguishers (Co2) can be inspected and refilled/recharged but cannot be serviced with non-Army parts so if parts are needed, they will be disposed of by the contractor. Contractor shall ensure that all unrepairable Type 1 fire extinguishers (Co2) are fully discharged to facilitate proper disposal by the contractor. Type 2 fire extinguisher will be inspected, tested serviced, repaired and refilled/recharged/discharged or disposed of as the regulation outlines, by the contractor. 1.4 Objectives: The objective of this contract is to provide for annual inspection, maintenance/repair, refill/recharge/discharge, disposal and hydrostatic testing (as required) for all fire extinguishers utilized by DOTS and all MCoE Training Brigades for facilities and vehicles per Army Regulation. 1.5 General Information: 1.5.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP): The Contractor shall develop and maintain a QCP to ensure services are performed in accordance with (IAW) this PWS and FAR 12.105.
