2. Background

The United States Army Logistics Readiness Center at Fort Jackson has a new requirement in support of the Fort Jackson Department of Emergency Services Fire Department. The Fire Department operates a fleet of specialized emergency response apparatus essential to protecting the lives, health, and property of the installation community. Among these assets is a 2010 Pierce Contender Pumper Fire Apparatus

(VIN: 4P1CC01AXAA010873).

This apparatus was recently involved in an accident that caused significant structural and cosmetic damage to the right‑rear body panels. An Electronic Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss

(eFLIPL) has been completed and formally released, authorizing the procurement of professional repair services.

Restoring this Pierce Contender to a Fully Mission Capable (FMC) status is critical to Fort Jackson’s emergency response mission. The timely repair of this apparatus ensures the installation maintains its required capacity for rapid emergency response, effective structural firefighting operations, and life‑saving

Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
