Notice of intent to use a brand name product. The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Pacific (NAVFAC Pacific) is performing a market survey to determine if other potential sources of supply can provide a fire suppression system that has equal performance and listing/approval requirements as the Safespill Ignitable Liquid Drainage Floor Assembly (ILDFA).

FY25 MCON Project P-949 Aircraft Maintenance Hangar, Royal Australian Air Force Base, Darwin, Australia requires a fire suppression system with the following characteristics:

• Hollow aluminum extruded floor with a perforated top surface, connected to a trench system to remove any spilled liquid to an acceptable location
• Approved under FM Approval Standard 6090
• Divided into zones with a maximum area of 1,240 ft2 (115 m2) each
• Each zone shall have its own solenoid valve, fiber optic liquid detector sensors, and flushing manifold
• Each flushing manifold requires 50 gallons per minute (GPM) (189 liters per minute) of flushing water
• The maximum spacing of the trenches shall be 40.37 ft (12.3 m) from the center of each trench
• Requires the use of prefabricated aluminum trenches
• The internal slope of the trench is required to be a minimum of 0.5% (0.3°) to ensure liquid drains to the lowest point. The minimum depth of a trench should be 16 inches (404 mm) to allow for proper flow of spilled liquid and piping conduit.
• The ILDFA floor profiles shall be manufactured out of 6000 series Marine-Grade Aluminum
• Point load capacity: 96,000 lbs./(9”X16”) = 666 psi (46 bar)
• Tie down points shall have a load rating of 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg)
• Floor weight capacity: 350 psi/2.41 mpa
• Pump skid power requirement: 480V 60 A
• Control Panel Power Requirement: 120V 10A
• Flushing system water flow requirement: 200 gpm/720 lpm
• Flushing system water pressure requirement: 100 psi/7 bar
• Containment tank capacity: 15,000 – 70,000 Gallons
