Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior IDIQ award 68HERC21D0009, awarded to Healey Fire Protection for $451,908 (05/20/21–05/19/26), covering special hazard fire protection services at the EPA NVFEL in Ann Arbor. The scope includes modification, repair, refill/recharge, design and installation of gaseous, total flooding, chemical, expansion foam, liquid mist, and sprinkler-based systems, along with documentation, signage, and user training—activities that align closely with the current IDIQ’s system design/modification and rapid charge readiness requirements.
