About this file

This document is a Salient Characteristics attachment for federal contract opportunity FA462026QA263, detailing requirements for procuring a heavy-duty ultrasonic washer system for Fairchild Air Force Base's Fire Department in Washington State. The requirement is for one new ultrasonic washer unit designed to decontaminate firefighting equipment, specifically helmets, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) packs, and air bottles to mitigate carcinogenic exposure risks from toxic chemicals and hazardous materials encountered during fire emergencies.

The basis of design is the Omegasonics Fire Service Equipment Pro or equivalent. Physical specifications require a minimum 70-gallon tank capacity with internal dimensions of at least 33 inches length, 20 inches width, and 20 inches depth to fully submerge standard firefighter equipment. External dimensions must not exceed 72 inches length, 36 inches width, and 40 inches height. The unit must be constructed of stainless steel, fully insulated for fire and operational safety, and mounted on heavy-duty casters for portability. Electrical requirements specify single-phase operation at 208-220 VAC on a 20-Amp grounded circuit. The washer must generate ultrasonic frequencies optimized to remove dirt, grime, and toxic combustion by-products from both plastic and metal components and include a removable rack or basket for securing PPE items during cleaning. Deliverables include the unit delivered to Fairchild AFB, Washington, along with all technical specifications, operator manuals, and maintenance manuals.
