6. RATIONAL JUSTIFYING USE OF CITED STATUTORY AUTHORITY

CNRSW Fed Fire is responsible for installation fire safety operations throughout San Diego, Ventura, China Lake, Seal Beach, Fallbrook, Corona, Monterey, El Centro, Lemoore, and Fallon, NV. The Scott X3 SCBA Pack is used by Fire Fighters during fire related emergencies.

It allows them to breath clean air under hazai·dous conditions keeping them safe from smoke &/or caustic fumes. In accordance with the Government Requirements SCBAs must be compliant with the National Fire Protection Association and NIOSH 42 CFR. The SCBA lifespan is linked to its ability to pass a POSICHEK test for pressurization. This test ensures the Fire Fighter has clean air to breath while fighting fires. The cmTent SCBAs have been continuously in use for over 15 years and are beginning to fail this test. Due to cost limitations, NRSW F&ES is unable to procure all the SCBA packs required at one time.

The SCOTT SCBA is utilized by all NRSW fire stations Fed Fire personnel across the nation.

The product requested is a dirnct replacement for outdated and/or damaged equipment that is beyond economical repair. Federal Fire Fighters utilize this equipment regularly. Unifo1m firefighting equipment is essential because it allows firefighters to easily switch or share gear in emergencies; it also allows to quickly replace damaged or malfunctioning equipment; and in large-scale incidents, resources can be pooled. Having lmiforrn firefighting equipment contributes to safety of the firefighters by reducing risk of confusion and eITors caused by unfamiliarity with each other's gear. Fed Fire personnel are issued customized fitted Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that include a set of tmnouts, a SCOTT SCBA Pack, two breathing cylinders, a face mask and two regulators. If Fed Fire personnel are transfe1Ted to a different installation, they must bring their issued set of turnouts and face masks because they are customized and fitted to each individual fire fighter. The SCBA Packs are serialized and must remain at the installation they ai·e assigned to but will be reissued an SCBA upon aiTival at their new duty station. The masks that NRSW Fed Fire Personnel are currently issued and fitted with are not interchangeable and cannot be modified to fit different manufacturers equipment due to
