The Department of the Air Force is seeking to acquire a Fire Station Alerting and Alarm (FSAA) Command/Control System for four fire stations at Kadena Air Base, Japan. This is a sole-source acquisition due to the requirement for seamless integration with existing proprietary Motorola Solutions infrastructure, including the Astro 25 radio network and MCC **** dispatch consoles. The system must provide redundant dispatch center hardware, manual backup alerting, speakers, system health monitoring, alarm notifications, logging, GUI security, zone-based alerting, text-to-speech options, and station zoning. The acquisition includes specific equipment such as Mach Alert fire station alerting equipment, server/router equipment, video surveillance systems, Spillman Flex computer-aided dispatching system, Vesta 911 workstation, command central aware C2 software, and uninterruptible power supply. Services include installation, factory staging, configuration, system acceptance testing, integration, grounding, warehousing, and as-built drawings. Questions are due by June 12, 2026, and responses are due by June 30, 2026. Funds are not presently available, and the government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation.
