NIGP 340: Fire Protection Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 340 Fire Protection Equipment And Supplies, a Class code, covers tangible fire safety products and consumable supplies that state and local governments procure for fire departments, emergency services, and facility protection—including hoses, extinguishers, breathing apparatus components, ballistic protective gear for firefighters, foam concentrates, sprinkler system parts, and inspection and testing services for fire alarm and suppression systems. Recent solicitations show fire departments and emergency services agencies acquiring both capital equipment (ballistic helmets and plate carriers, rescue manikins and ladders, fire hoses) and recurring consumables and services (extinguisher maintenance, sprinkler system inspections, foam supplies, and facility-wide fire protection system monitoring and repairs). Issuing bodies span city fire departments, county emergency services and facilities management offices, state fire academies and military installations, school districts, transit authorities, and specialized water and housing authorities, with no dominant repeat buyer—activity is distributed across jurisdictions of all sizes.

Geographic spread covers multiple states with visible recent activity in California (City of Santa Monica, City of Milpitas, City of Palo Alto), Florida (Hillsborough County, Marion County, Broward County, Orange County, Tampa Bay Water), Utah (Granite School District), Massachusetts (Massachusetts Military Division, Taunton State Hospital, Boston Public Facilities), Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Fort Bend ISD, City of Dallas, City of Pittsburgh), New Hampshire (state fire academy), Colorado (Boulder County Housing Authority), Maryland (Morgan State University), and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Milpitas IFB 26-229 for five-year blanket purchase orders of MRO maintenance and facilities supplies (due August 4, 2026); the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services RFB 8-27 for rescue manikins and ladders to the NH Fire Academy (due July 24, 2026); the City of Pittsburgh IFB 2026-IFB-004 for Class A/B firefighting foam concentrate with DBE participation goals (due July 24, 2026); and the Detroit Fire Department RFP 546441 for firefighting hose line supply and inspection services with Detroit Equalization Credits available (due July 30, 2026). Work spans construction (fire alarm system installation at schools) and services (annual inspection and maintenance contracts running three to five years), with most service contracts carrying renewal options.
