Solicitation Amendment for DEMA FD Technical Rescue Equipment

This is a Solicitation Amendment No. 1 issued by the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) Procurement Office for the competitive procurement of technical rescue response equipment and supplies, designated as Solicitation No. BPPM007160/M25-0036. The amendment extends the original proposal due date from September 19, 2025, at 3:00 PM Arizona Time to September 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM Arizona Time, providing vendors with an additional week to prepare and submit their responses. The extension was issued due to questions submitted during the solicitation process. The underlying contract opportunity seeks to establish one or more vendors to supply comprehensive rescue and medical emergency equipment for Arizona's fire and emergency services personnel, supporting operations in extreme environmental conditions ranging from below-zero to above 120-degree temperatures, including winter blizzards, summer wildland fires, and monsoonal flooding events. All equipment must be new, unused, and manufactured exactly as specified with no substitutions permitted due to the critical life safety nature of the supplies. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to fulfill partial or complete orders across multiple equipment categories.

Vendors who have already submitted bids in previous rounds of this solicitation must resubmit their complete bid packages, including all attachments, in the current round to maintain consideration in the bidding process. Failure to resubmit negates any previous submissions and will result in bids not being reviewed. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. Vendors are required to acknowledge receipt of this amendment by signing and submitting it with their bid documentation.
