19.0 HIGH TEMPERATURES THERMAL INSULATING MATERIALS REQUIREMENT

Because thermally stable materials are essential to maximizing protective performance in firefighters’ PPE, and because NFPA only states “minimum” performance requirements, all thermal liner or thermal enhancing materials used in the garments shall also meet the following criteria after the 500 degree F oven test:

Material shall remain intact and flexible

No portion of the material shall crack, crumble or flake

20.0 BREATHABILITY REQUIREMENT

Excluding where required by NFPA standard, necessary for functionality, or specifically called out in the custom option sections, all materials fabrics and reinforcements used in the construction of the garments shall be breathable and all moisture barrier material shall be as specified in the Materials Section.

The breathability requirement includes but is not limited to: collar, chinstrap, storm shield, fly, water wells, front coat facings, and reinforcement cushioning where applicable.

Areas where non-breathability is allowed (absent Custom Option specifications): trim or other items placed externally on the arms that might need extra material to pass NFPA required Stored Energy Testing, hook and loop fastening, hardware or hardware backing, and pocket linings where used exterior to the outer shell.

21.0 CONDUCTIVE AND COMPRESSIVE HEAT RESISTANCE (CCHR)

Using breathable materials as outlined in the section titled Breathable Materials, there shall be: A minimum area of

In all three of these compression areas at least a portion of the protective area shall be made from high temperature fiber based materials sewn to the thermal liner on the inside of the liner toward the moisture barrier.

22.0 SEAM PROTECTION AT CUFFS

At the coat and pant cuff Major A seams, the reflective trim shall stop just before the folding of the full feld seam and for additional abrasion protection be covered by a sewn on strip of polymer coated Kevlar material laid on top of the Major A seam and covering each end of the trim.

23.0 COAT SPECIFICATIONS

To avoid liability and interface problems, coats and pants shall be procured from the same manufacturer.

24.0 DESIGN CONCEPT (STYLING)

The standard coat design shall be 6-inches (15.2 cm) longer at the rear hem than at the front hem and provide continuous and unbroken moisture barrier and thermal liner protection from the collar seam to the hem at the bottom of the coat tail. Each coat length shall be determined by each individual’s torso length to provide the coat-to-pant interface as defined by NFPA 1500. Coat design shall interface properly with standard waist high bunker pants. To facilitate various body types the front to rear length differential shall be made available in 3-inch (7.5cm), 4-inch

(10.0cm), 5-inch (12.5cm and 6-inch (15.0cm) “Tail Drops”.

25.0 PATTERNING CONCEPT

Garments shall feature a tailored three-piece body (with one-piece back) and one-piece, set-in sleeve construction throughout the outer shell, moisture barrier and thermal liner layers. Onepiece garment body (either all layers or some layers) will not be considered acceptable since they cannot be tailored to hard-to-fit personnel. Similarly, garments with seams in mid-back are not considered acceptable because of backbone irritation that can occur with

SCBA use. To facilitate individual tailoring needs, the major A & B seams joining the one-piece back to the right and the left front body panels (outer shell and all interior layers) shall be located at the most lateral position when the coat is laid flat for inspection.

26.0 PATTERNING REQUIREMENTS

To assure maximum freedom of movement and reduce kinetic resistance with minimum garment weight and bulk, coat patterning shall include the following features:

Degree of slope on shoulders shall be no more than 20%

Hydraulic Butterfly sleeve patterning having built-in underarm bellow with 85-degree Lift Up

Release Action shall be provided to minimize coat hem rise.

Sleeve attachment shall minimize shoulder lift and allow a full 360 degrees freedom of movement.

Coat hem rise with overhead reach of both arms not to exceed 4-inch (10.2-cm) maximal extension on properly fitted garments.

Shell-and-liner retraction at the cuff shall not exceed 1 inch (2.5 cm) when both arms are raised overhead. This helps eliminate wrist exposure.

10-inch (25.4-cm) chest over-sizing shall be provided.

Coat sweep measurements shall be consistent with the chest over-size at the hem.

Reach when measured from cuff to cuff, with coat lying flat, and standard length sleeves extended to each side, shall be provided as detailed below.

An alteration point at the hem that during manufacture allows the sweep dimension to be adjustable in two-inch (5.0cm) increments

27.0 DRAG RESCUE DEVICE (DRD)

Manufacturer shall supply an NFPA required and certified Drag Rescue Device with each coat. Each strap will be properly labeled with the chest size(s) the Rescue Strap is designed to fit.

Rescue Strap shall be designed in a fashion that it functionally provides a dynamic and articulated action and to eliminate excess strapping material hanging down the back when installed between the garment’s liner and outer shell.

The device shall be constructed using two components: a 1.75” (4.45 cm) Kevlar webbing grab handle; and a free-floating loop of Kevlar rope to go around each of the wearer’s arms/shoulder.

The grab loop shall extend upward and pass through a tunnel of outer shell and pass out through a reinforced slot in the coat outer shell just below the center rear of the collar seam. . The protruding grab loop shall then fold back down and be stored by hook and loop fastener.

The end of the garb loop shall be covered with an outer shell flap sewn below the held in place with hook & loop fastener to reduce the chances of snagging the grab loop by accident.

The Grab Handle shall be constructed of soft and pliable Kevlar webbing meeting the following specifications:

Rescue Strap shall be sewn with Kevlar thread

28.0 LINER ATTACHMENT

The completed liner-moisture barrier assembly shall attach by means of four (4) evenly spaced glove snaps to each outer shell front facing to reduce weight, bulk and stiffness. To provide continuous moisture and pathogen protection at the front, the liner shall be positioned so it is sandwiched between the coat front facing and a breathable pathogen shield. The use of zippers or hook and loop fasteners in this area is not allowed due to their added weight, bulk and stiffness.

Liner sleeves shall be attached at the cuff by means of snaps on two (2) sets of Nomex tabbing per liner cuff. The male and female snap parts shall both be located on Nomex tabbing that is sewn to the liner at the cuff. A separate piece of Nomex tabbing shall be sewn to the shell cuff and fashioned as a loop without any snap hardware.

To provide continuous moisture protection and pathogen protection at the neck, the liner shall be positioned so that it is sandwiched between an outer-facing pathogen shield and an inside facing of the specified outer shell material.

29.0 COAT CERTIFICATION LABEL ON LINER

The coat certification label on the liner shall be affixed to the inside right body panel of the liner in a fashion to provide an inside liner pocket.

30.0 COAT CERTIFICATION LABEL ON SHELL

The coat label on the shell shall be affixed in a conspicuous location once the liner is removed.

31.0 COLLAR

The collar shall be of layered construction, consisting of a layer of waterproof moisture barrier and a layer of NFPA

1971-certified insulating material, sandwiched between two (2) layers of specified outer shell material. NFPA compliant collars shall be at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) high while CGSB compliant collars shall be at least 4 inches

(10.2 cm) high. The design shall incorporate in its patterning a natural contour that will allow proper fit and performance in the standing (upright) or stowed position.

There shall be no vertical or horizontal seams or stitching in the body of the collar. The left outside of the collar shall have a sewn piece of 2-inch x 2-inch (5.0-cm x 5.0-cm) hook fastener tape for chinstrap-to-collar closure. The fastener tape shall be located rear ward far enough to allow for the location of a forward mounted microphone tab if so desired. Each collar shall be graded to individual coat sizes.

32.0 CHIN STRAP

The chinstrap shall be of layered construction identical to that of the collar configuration described in the previous paragraphs. Chinstrap shall be of a crescent shaped design with minimum dimensions of: 9 inches (22.5 cm) long across the top corners, 10.5 inches (26 cm) long across the bottom corners, and 3.5 inches (8.75 cm) in vertical height, measured at the center. The leading underside edge of the chinstrap shall have a 4.0-inch-wide (3.8 cm-wide) horizontal strip of loop fastener tape to ensure an adequately adjustable closure and to ensure passage of the

Whole Garment Liquid Penetration Test.

33.0 HANG-UP LOOP

An 80-pound (36.3 kg) tear strength hang-up loop shall be provided at the interior collar seam. The loop shall be constructed of triple layers of the specified outer shell material, lockstitched to the coat. Webbing is not acceptable.

34.0 SLEEVES

To prevent stove-piping the sleeves shall be individually graded by coat size and sleeve length. For maximum freedom, the sleeve design shall feature extra full cut one-piece set-in sleeves with built-in bellows. To reduce the chances of possible top seam failure in that high thermal exposure area, the sleeve Major seams shall follow the underside of the arm and shall not cross over the outside of the elbow joint. Sleeve seam and sleeve attachment to coat body in all layers shall be 100% double feld and double stitched for maximum.

Easy Move Liner Combo – Torso of coat to be made of TL I (Synergy II 2 Layer) and Sleeves to be made of TL B

(Glide Ice 2 Layer) to allow better movement in the sleeves while donning and doffing the coat.

35.0 INNER WRISTLET & WATERWELL

Every coat shall feature a minimum 4.5-inch (11.4-cm) long, double-layer knit inner wristlets protected by a flame-resistant and moisture-resistant inner waterwell. The inner wristlet shall be sewn to the thermal liner sleeve end (not to the outer shell). The specified moisture barrier shall form an inner waterwell with an elastic gather sewn to the moisture barrier sleeve end.

36.0 EXTERNAL WRISTLET

Every coat shall feature a 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) long knit outer wristlet, which shall be mounted to the end of each outer shell sleeve to prevent liquid and debris movement up the sleeve between the outer shell and the moisture barrier/ thermal liner assembly.

37.0 FRONT CLOSURE PROTECTIVE OVERLAP

Two-inch-wide (5.1 cm-wide) panels of breathable moisture/ pathogen barrier and specified thermal liner materials shall be provided at coat front closure facings to preclude any type of break in the protective envelope. The entire circumference of a closed coat shall consist of specified shell, moisture barrier and thermal liner materials.

An additional layer of breathable moisture/ pathogen barrier material shall be sewn between the 2-inch-wide (5.1 cm-wide) panels and outer shell coat body for the entire length of coat front in a fashion to prevent liquid entry during the NFPA 1971 Whole Garment Liquid Penetration Test.

40.0 PANT SPECIFICATIONS

41.0 DESIGN CONCEPT (STYLING)

The pant shall be of a traditional waist-high-only design to facilitate full torso ventilation of front, rear and sides of trunk for maximum body cooling effect to help minimize firefighter heat stress. For this reason, other than waist-high pants shall not be considered acceptable or “equal,” since additional trunk wrapping traps heat and moisture, increasing heat stress buildup while also creating mechanical resistance when covering the natural torso flexion point of the waist.

42.0 PATTERNING CONCEPT

Garments shall feature a tailored four-piece body plus a one-piece, over-sized crotch diamond pattern in the outer shell, moisture barrier and thermal liner.

43.0 PATTERNING REQUIREMENTS

To assure maximum freedom of movement and reduced kinetic resistance with minimum garment weight and bulk, the pants patterning shall:

Incorporate hydraulic, swivel action leg-to-torso interfaces.

Incorporate an oversized diamond-shaped crotch insert, graded according to size, for maximum action stride, optimum stepping reach and no “in-crotch” seaming.

In the outer seam hip area, in all three layers shall, incorporate convex seam technology to provide for generous seat expansion when squatting and crawling without creating unsightly bagginess.

That the diamond extend from just above the left knee to just above the right knee, and be centered equally from front to rear. Width of diamond at top of crotch shall be approximately proportionally graded to waist size and inseam length.

Ensure that pants rest in normal body line balance of 22 inches (55.9 cm) center distance at the cuff for 42 waist, 30 inseam pants.

Provide for an alteration point at the hips so that during manufacture the hip dimension can be adjustable in two-inch (5.0cm) increments

44.0 SUSPENDER BUTTONS

Eight (8) heavy duty, rust-resistant suspender buttons shall be positioned around the waist. Suspender buttons shall be mounted through waistband of triple layer outer shell material that is internally reinforced with an additional band of coated needlepunch aramid.

45.0 LINER ATTACHMENT

The moisture barrier and thermal liner assembly shall be attached to the outer shell at the waistband with seven (7) evenly-spaced glove snaps. Liners shall be attached at the cuff by means of snaps on two (2) sets of Nomex tabbing per liner cuff. The male and female snap parts shall both be located on Nomex tabbing that is sewn to the liner at the cuff. A separate piece of Nomex tabbing shall be sewn to the shell cuff and fashioned as a loop without any snap hardware.

46.0 PANT CERTIFICATION LABEL ON LINER

The pant certification label on the liner shall be affixed to the inner left hip area of the liner.

47.0 PANT CERTIFICATION LABEL ON SHELL

The pant label on the shell shall be affixed to the facing at the fly.

48.0 FLY FRONT

The outer shell fly shall be lockstitched to the left side of the front opening and shall be in proportion to waist size and crotch rise in both length and width. Fly inner lining shall extend at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) to the left of the outer shell fly attachment seam and shall be constructed of certified breathable moisture barrier and thermal liner.

The right front pant opening shall have an internal facing extending at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) to the right and constructed of specified fabric. In combination with the liner, the system shall offer 360-degree protection without gaps during movement of the outer shell moisture barrier and thermal liner. Closure shall be by means of a minimum 1.5-inch-wide (3.8-cm-wide) hook and loop fastener, and all construction techniques used shall provide liquid penetration protection under the NFPA 1971 Whole Garment Liquid Penetration Test. The fly shall be graded to the waist size of garments and crotch rise.

49.0 COMPOSITE MATERIALS

The specifier has determined the ONLY acceptable combination of materials. Any substitution of materials shall be grounds for immediate disqualification of quote without further consideration.

Pioneer - Kevlar/Nomex Blend, 6.6 osy. Twill Weave - Gold

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) ‘TAILORED”

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The basis of the award is “Best Value” to the Government, using a trade-off process.

The criteria for evaluation are:

1) Technical Capability to include –

(a) Technical Specifications. The vendor’s quote shall provide the Brand Name or Equal items that meet all the specifications listed in the Technical Specifications and CLINs.

(b) Delivery: The Government requests delivery 45 days after receipt of a task order (ARO). Vendor shall clearly state if the quoter can meet the desired delivery of 45 days ARO or better. If not then vendor shall state delivery time following receipt of task order.

2) Past Performance

3) Price

Factor 1. The Subfactors are weighted equally.

Factor 2. If the contractor has no past performance history or relevant past performance, a rating of “neutral” will be assigned.

Factors 1 and 2 are weighted equally and when combined will be evaluated as significantly more important than Factor

3 – Price

This requirement contains Brand Name or Equal CLINs. Quotes will only be acceptable if quotes are provided for the brand name, or equal brands meeting the quality and specifications of the brand name.

The proposed acquisition is 100% set aside for Small Business in accordance with FAR 19.502-2(a).

The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 339113. The industry description for this NAICS Code is Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, which has a small business size standard of 750 employees.

This procurement is subject to the Buy American Act. If the product you are quoting on is not American made, you must identify the country in which it is made.

BASIS OF AWARD: This procurement is conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Acquisition

Procedures utilizing FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items.

The term “offeror” or “offer” as used in FAR 52.212-1 shall be understood to mean “Quoter” and “quote,” respectively. Further, the term “award” shall be understood to describe the Government’s issuance of a purchase order in response to a request for quotes (RFQ).

EVALUATION. The Government intends to issue a single firm fixed-price Requirements contract on an "all or none" basis for this requirement. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted. The Government will award a single contract resulting from this request for quotes to the responsible vendor whose quote, conforming to the RFQ; will be most advantageous to the

Government, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to evaluate quotes without the use of formal evaluation procedures such as establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, scoring quotations, and to make an award to other than the lowest quote.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary and in the best interest to the Government. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

1) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

(a) Subfactor A: Technical Specifications. The vendor’s quote shall provide the Brand Name or Equal items listed in the CLINs and that meet all Technical Specifications. The quoter shall provide a detailed response that clearly demonstrates how the proposed product meets or exceeds the minimum requirements to each Technical

Specification. This shall include descriptive literature outlining the specifications of the items quoted to include drawings. The manufacturer’s name and manufacturer’s complete part numbers of all items quoted shall be submitted in the quote. Quotes shall clearly state all products specifications for all items quoted. Each factor in the technical specifications shall be addressed. Merely restating the Technical Specifications will not be considered acceptable.

(b) Subfactor B: Delivery: The Government requests delivery 45 days after receipt of a task order (ARO). Vendor shall clearly state if they can meet the desired delivery of 45 days ARO or better. If not then vendor shall state the delivery time required following receipt of task order.

Technical Capability will be evaluated based upon the extent to which the vendor concisely and accurately describes the technical solution to providing all items listed in the solicitation.

Technical Specifications will be evaluated for adherence to the stated requirements in the CLINS and Technical

Specifications. If the government determines that the specifications do not adhere to the Technical Specifications, the quotation will be found to be non-conforming and will not receive further consideration for award. Vendors who fail to submit the descriptive literature and address all technical specifications may not receive further consideration for award.

Upon a determination that a quotation is technically conforming, the vendor’s quotation will be evaluated for past performance.

2) PAST PERFORMANCE – For past performance, the vendor shall submit the attached Past Performance

Questionnaire, as part of its quote, information on previously performed contracts or on-going contracts that are similar to the item descriptions in the solicitation performed for Federal, State or local Governments, and for commercial firms. A determination will be made that the quoter has satisfied its customers in the past and demonstrated adequate experience in performing relevant similar projects of similar size, scope, and complexity within the past three (3) years. Information utilized to come to that conclusion will be obtained from the references listed in the quote, other customers known to the Government, consumer protection organizations, others who may have relevant information and a review of the vendor’s record in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System
