About this file
This document is an Amendment (A09) to Solicitation 1202SC21Q2205 for Call When Needed (CWN) Mobile Shower Facilities Units for the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). The amendment provides government responses to 13 contractor questions covering deployment details, equipment specifications, and operational requirements. Key clarifications include: callback within 30 minutes of assignment, no predetermined deployment length or frequency, ability to use external water/gray water tanks, required 2 gallons-per-minute shower flow, and mandatory Contracting Officer approval for personnel or equipment substitutions.
The solicitation seeks nationwide mobile shower unit services for fire suppression and all-hazard incidents, with a contract period from award through April 30, 2031. The opportunity is unrestricted but with preference for small businesses. Contractors must quote units as either small or large capacity, with a fixed Designated Dispatch Point. Annual reviews will occur in January-February, and pricing will be updated through solicitations posted on sam.gov. Contractors are responsible for providing equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel meeting specified contract requirements.
