The solicitation seeks Traditional Structural Fire Fighting Helmets comparable to Bullard USTM models and Fire Fighting Boots (HAIX Fire Eagle Air or approved equivalents) meeting NFPA 1970-2018 standards. Estimated annual usage includes 150 units each of glossy white helmets, black matte helmets, replacement leather fronts and brow pads, replacement face shields, replacement hardware, replacement retroreflective trim, men's boots in all sizes, and women's boots in all sizes. The inquiry period closes at 5:00 p.m. CST on April 22, 2026, with sealed bids due by 11:00 a.m. CST on April 29, 2026. Helmet samples are required only upon request and need not accompany bid submissions. The contract includes a one-year firm period with potential extensions for second and third years by mutual agreement, with delivery required within 14 days of order receipt to 8011 Merle Gustafson, Baton Rouge, LA 70807.
Pricing must remain firm for at least 60 days, with no price escalation allowed during the first-year base term or at the time of second and third year renewals. Payment terms are Net 30 days following invoice or delivery, whichever is later, with all prices quoted excluding state and local taxes since East Baton Rouge Parish is exempt from sales tax. Bidders may submit proposals via mail, courier, or Central Bidding; however, Central Bidding is not required. Addenda will be posted on Central Bidding and LAPC and sent by email. No specific Federal Debarment Certification document beyond a signed submission is required. The solicitation encourages participation by certified Small, Minority, and Women-Owned Businesses and requires proposers to submit a good-faith effort plan. Bidders must be registered in the City-Parish Vendor Self Service system and submit completed W-9 forms along with standard federal compliance documentation. The contract is awarded on an all-or-none basis, with the Purchasing Division retaining the right to award items separately, grouped, or on an all-or-none basis, or to reject all proposals if deemed in the best interest of the City-Parish.
