This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) seeking information on commercially available closed-circuit self-contained breathing apparatus (CC-SCBA) for the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program. The RFI requests vendors provide detailed information about their CC-SCBA products, including operational specifications, safety features, cleaning and maintenance procedures, delivery and training, third-party validation, IT connectivity, accessories, warranty, and customer support. The target audience is the fire service community. Relevant information obtained will be shared nationally with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial response agencies. The RFI includes the NIOSH respiratory protection Certified Equipment List requirement and specifies that the CC-SCBA must be commercially available and suitable for fire service personnel to use in oxygen-deficient or IDLH atmospheres, with a cooling system for the breathing air.
