About this file

This document is a Q&A Amendment related to a Request for Information (RFI) for Elastomeric Half Mask Respirators (EHMRs). The RFI is seeking information on the availability and specifications of EHMRs that provide respiratory protection against biological threats for the U.S. Army DEVCOM Soldier Center.

The key details are:

  • The government is requesting projected quantities of EHMRs and extra filters for FY24 through FY28, with a total of 5,088,235 EHMRs and 10,176,471 extra filters.
  • Responses to the RFI were due by May 28, 2024. The government anticipates a 4-8 week delivery timeline for the items.
  • The RFI specifies that the EHMRs must meet certain performance requirements, such as achieving an overall fit factor of more than 100 for most users, being comfortable for long-term use, and being simple to don and decontaminate.
  • The RFI is for information and planning purposes only and is not a solicitation. No contract will be awarded from this announcement.

Amendment to Answer Questions:

Q1: What is the quantity requirement and the time period with the expected delivery schedule?

A1: Please see projected quantities below. This would be the maximum amount of masks requested to be procured/delivered, however will most likely be less than those quantities once other funding requirements are factored in. Timeline for FY24 deliveries would be as soon as possible.

Also, please note the request for additional filters in the table below. It is not required as part of this RFI, but if you have cost and availability of those products as well it would be appreciated.

Q2: Do you have a requirement for quantity/delivery schedule by size?

A2: We don’t have any size specifications to provide for consideration. If you can please make some assumptions and provide an appropriate cost and timeline it would be appreciated.

Q3: Do you want the EHMR’s priced with filters? Or are you wanting the mask and filter to be delivered separately? Are the quantities of the replacement filters by the each or pair?

A3: Yes, the initial mask delivery should include a pair of filters. All extra filters should be quoted as “each”.
