Vinyl numbers for recruit helmets – ( Specification/ Bid Sheet)

OFF44

Vendor: __________________________________________________ Address:__________________________________________________ Phone #:__________________________________________________ Contact Name: _____________________________________________

DFS is requesting quotes on statewide contract OFF44 for vinyl numbers that will be affixed to our recruit firefighter’s helmets. These vinyl numbers will be subjected to live burns (300 degrees) several times during the recruits 10-week training here at the academy. In the past some of these numbers have melted off which causes a safety issue. Instructors use the recruit’s helmet number to instruct / warn a recruit of a dangerous situation. So understandably DFS needs a very high-quality vinyl to be able to withstand the heat.

If you are going to bid this opportunity DFS needs to receive a sample of the vinyl number, you are proposing. We will compare the quality to past product that was successful and possibly use it in the burn building if needed.

Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP). This is a small procurement targeted to small businesses participating in the Commonwealth’s Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP). The Department of Fire Services intends to evaluate bid responses from and award a contract to participating SBPP businesses that submit a bid that meets or exceeds the solicitation criteria. If it is determined that there is an inadequate pool of responses from SBPP-participating vendors, or no SBPP-participating vendors provide a responsive bid, the Department of Fire Services will evaluate and award bid responses received from non-SBPP businesses. To determine eligibility and to participate in the SBPP, please review the requirements and general program information at www.mass.gov/sbpp.
