About this file
The document is a State of Indiana Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for Husqvarna chain saws, specifically targeting the Division of Forestry's Fire Control Headquarters. The solicitation seeks to procure two models of chain saws: 6 units of a 372XP 24" chainsaw with 70.7cc engine and 3 units of a 395XP 28" chainsaw with 94cc engine. The event is open from September 9, 2025, to October 10, 2025, with all quote packages to be submitted to Kathy Evans via email, and all quoted prices must remain valid for 30 calendar days after the response due date.
The procurement emphasizes firefighter safety and operational consistency, mandating the use of Husqvarna brand saws for general firefighter use. The department stresses the importance of maintaining the same brand for training purposes and cost-effective maintenance, noting they already have an inventory of compatible parts and chains. Pricing must include all applicable charges such as shipping, reconditioning, installation, and labor, with any additional costs beyond the requested specifications potentially leading to offer rejection. The chainsaws are specifically needed to equip engines for responding to local and national wildfire incidents, with delivery scheduled to the IDNR Fire Control Headquarters in Martinsville, Indiana.

BRAND NAME - We only use 2 brands of saws, Husqvarna for our general firefighter use. We stay with the same brand of saws for firefighter safety, we train with the Husqvarna saws for felling burning trees. In the heat of the moment we need to act instinctively and during high stress situations humans will fall back on their training. For maintenance it is cost effective for the state to stay with the same brand as we already have a cache of parts and chains that fit these saws.
We do use Stihl saws in a larger size class to fell very large trees and when high performance is needed.
Again, it is very important for firefighter safety to maintain consistency.
