2.0 Background:

2.1 CNRSW F&ES is in need of a continuous supply of customized Fire-fighter turnouts, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for replenishing inventory as a result of retired unusable gear, and for provisioning newly hired firefighters. This requirement is to support of Federal Fire Departments located in CNRSW area of responsibility. Firefighter turnout gear must be issued to new fire-fighters, replaced every ten (10) years, or if the gear is damaged, and no longer meets the NFPA standards.

2.2 With this contract, CNRSW F&ES will begin phasing out current Turnouts and begin utilizing Fire-Dex TecGen71 Turnouts. NRSW is moving away from current Turnouts for the following reasons:

2.2.1 Fire Dex TecGen71 provides a higher level of thermal protective performance and is two and half times more breathable than the current equipment, significantly reducing firefighter heat-stress related injuries. (See comparison chart SEC 11.0, Table 1)

2.2.3 Fire Dex TecGen71 offers a service to track garments for inventory purposes, at no additional cost, once garments are initially purchased.

2.2.4 Fire Dex TechGen71 turnout gear is interchangeable, this allows for immediate replacement of the damaged area vice a full replacement of the entire piece of gear.

SPECIFICATION

COAT SPECIFICATION

NFPA Compliance All materials and construction will meet or exceed the NFPA 1971 standard, 2013 edition for structural fire fighters protective clothing. All components used in the construction of these garments shall be tested for compliance to NFPA 1971, 2013 edition by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). UL shall certify compliance to that standard. All garments shall carry the UL certification label. The outer shell and liner of each protective garment shall have a garment label permanently and conspicuously attached to the outer shell and thermal liner upon which the following statement shall be printed legibly on the product label. All letters shall be at least 2.5 mm (0.10") high. The following label shall be sewn to the jacket outer shell: "THIS GARMENT MEETS THE GARMENT REQUIREMENTS OF NFPA 1971, STANDARD ON PROTECTION ENSEMBLE FOR STRUCTURAL FIRE FIGHTING, 2013 EDITION."

COMPLY EXCEPTION

FX-R Coat Construction The coat shall be designed to provide maximum functionality and mobility and relieve firefighter working stress. The Active Posture™ Design shall incorporate an “arms forward” pattern designed to accommodate the firefighter in their real working position. The pattern shall include underarm gussets and darts in the elbows for unrestricted movement. The shoulder seams on shell and liner shall be placed close to the collar in a modified Raglan pattern to mimic the natural location of the shoulder joint and minimize coat rise and extend range of motion when wearing an air pack. The sleeves shall be two-panel construction. The coat sleeve shall be naturally tapered designed and manufactured to provide unrestricted movement while bending the arm. The outer shell shall include four darts at the elbow area - two above and two below the natural bend of the elbow along the sleeve seams. The thermal/moisture barrier liner shall be specially designed to work in conjunction with the shell with a fuller cut pattern. The body of the shell and liner shall be four-panel construction. The front two panels of shell and liner shall extend up to the top of the collar and be an integral part of the collar in a “Shawl” collar design. See Collar Construction.

All seams joining the main body panels shall be felled and double needle lock stitched. The stitch type shall be 401, double lock stitch, as defined by Federal Standard 751a and seam type LSC-2 as defined by Federal Standard 751a, ensuring that all stitches penetrate four layers of cloth at the joining. All seams shall be sewn with an average of nine stitches per inch. All thread shall be 100% Tex 80 Nomex® thread. No chain stitching shall be allowed due to the chance of unraveling if one stitch is broken.

Coat sizing shall be available in 2” increments in chest and 1” increments in sleeve. The length is measured from the collar seam to the bottom of the hem at the rear of the coat. Stock or Alpha sizing is unacceptable.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Standard Thermal Reinforcement Shoulders and elbows shall include a fourth layer of protective thermFaWl material in addition to the already present three layers of shell, thermal and moisture barriers. A patch of thermal lining material shall be sewn to the thermal liner at the top of the shoulders and at the elbows to provide enhanced thermal protection and to meet NFPA 1971 CCHR requirements for those areas. Additionally, thermal material shall be included on the liner behind all trim, reinforcements and patches on the sleeves to meet requirements of Stored Energy test.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Sleeves and Underarm Gussets The set-in, two panel sleeves shall be incorporate a tapered design shaped to follow the natural contour of the arm. Each coat shall incorporate an underarm gusset in all three layers between the underside of the sleeve and the body of the coat. This rounded shaped gusset shall measure approximately 7" wide X 12" long (graded to coat size).

The attachment point of the sleeves to the coat body panels at the top of the shoulder must be 2” – 4” from the outside of the shoulder when standing with the arms at rest at the side of the fire fighter. This moves the coat sleeve interface to the natural bend point of the body providing optimal mobility when donning an SCBA and minimizing coat rise. The sleeve panels shall be sewn together using seam type 401, double needle lock stitch. The outseam of the shell shall be felled and double needle lock stitched. The under seam and underarm gusset seams of the shell shall be double needle serged, then folded and top stitched with double needle lock stitching to reduce thread abrasion.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Inner sleeve A liquid resistant water well shall be sewn into the sleeve end to prevent liquids and other hazardous materials from entering when the arms are raised. This water well shall be constructed of moisture barrier material with the film side facing out. It shall be double needle lock stitched to the outer shell approximately 5" from the sleeve cuff and continue down the inside of the outer shell to the cuff area. Two-layer Nomex® wristlets shall be sewn to the water well inside the sleeve. Two 1" wide polymer-coated aramid (PCA) tabs will be sewn in at the union of the sleeve water well and the knit wrist on the underside of the sleeve. These tabs will be spaced equally from each other and incorporate female snap fasteners which accommodate corresponding male snaps attached to the thermal liner. A 6" wide layer of quilted Nomex® thermal lining material shall be lock stitched to the underside of the shell, between shell and water well, to provide continuous thermal protection at the sleeve and reduce the risk of steam burns under the cuff trim.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Collar Construction The Shawl collar design shall be constructed as an integral part of the body panels, inner shell facings and the liner to provide uninterrupted and continuous protection to the firefighter. The collar shall measure not less than 3" high measured from where the collar pleats are placed on the body panels at the base of the neck. The exterior of the collar shall be an extension of the front panels with a pleat placed for comfort and the upper rear collar panel shall be joined with a double needle serged seam that is double needle topstitched on the back of the wearer’s neck. A panel of shell material shall join the two inner front facings creating the inside of the collar. The coat thermal/moisture barrier lining shall extend up to the top of the inside of collar without seams and attach inside the collar via five pieces of ¾” hook and loop sewn with double needle lock stitching to the top of the thermal liner and inside the top of the collar. The storm flap shall extend to the mid-throat. This design shall meet the NFPA standard for overall liquid integrity while more effectively interfacing with the s.c.b.a. face-piece when the collar is worn in the upright position. A shell material hang-up loop shall be lock stitched to the collar. The hang up loop shall be able to withstand a load of at least 80 pounds.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Moisture Barrier/Thermal Liner Construction The moisture barrier shall be bound to the thermal liner around the perimeter of the liner using a 1" FR Neoprene coated binding tape double needle lock stitched. This method deters liquids from wicking into the liner and reinforces the edges of the liner from abrasion. Liners not equipped with this reinforcement will not be acceptable. Each liner shall have a 9" X 8" pocket sewn to the inside of the liner on the left side. This liner pocket shall be constructed from the specified thermal liner material and lined with moisture barrier material. All edges of the pocket shall be serged to prevent unraveling. The NFPA compliant labeling shall be applied to the thermal liner pocket. All moisture barrier seams shall be sealed to prevent moisture penetration as per the moisture barrier manufacturers' specifications. To ensure minimum seam abrasion, the moisture barrier seams shall be oriented with the stitching toward the inside of the thermal barrier.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Outer Shell/Liner Assembly Attachment The coat liner shall be secured to the outer shell by means of five, nickel coated brass snap fasteners placed along the leading edges of the left and right facings. The male snap portion on the liner shall be positioned to correspond to the female snap portion on the shell based on size of garment. Two male snaps shall be positioned at each liner sleeve cuff to align with two female snaps attached to fabric tabs bartacked inside the outer shell sleeves. 3/4" loop fastener tape shall be lock stitched along the top of the thermal liner inside the collar to match hook fastener tape lock stitched to the inside of the shell collar panels.

COMPLY EXCEPTION

Drag Rescue Device A completely removable Drag Rescue Device (DRD) meeting all requirements of NFPA 1971 shall be located between the liner and outer shell of each coat. The DRD design shall provide for easy removal, inspection and re-installation and a large easy-to-use surface area of DRD to grasp and deploy. The drag rescue device shall be made of 1-1/4” wide Kevlar® webbing strap. Two 2" wide slits shall be cut on a diagonal 2” apart into the upper rear panel of the coat shell near bottom of the collar. The area around the slits shall be reinforced with a layer of polymer coated Kevlar® material both inside and outside the shell. Additionally, slits shall be bartacked on all four corners. The Kevlar® webbing strap shall be sewn with heavy duty Kevlar® thread to form a circle. When the circle is folded in half and the ends inserted into the slits in the shell, they shall encircle the shoulders, while the remaining portion left outside the shell shall create a two layer “handle” of Kevlar webbing. The handle portion shall be wide enough to grasp with a large gloved hand. The DRD shall pull out from the shell approximately 18” extending beyond the helmet and S.C.B.A. A 4” X 7-1/2” flap of outer shell material with beveled corners and reflective trim is to be double needle lock stitched above the slits to cover the external DRD and slit openings. Reflective trim shall be double needle locked stitched to the flap to identify the DRD. A leather pull tab shall be sewn to the bottom of the flap to allow for easier access with a gloved hand. The outer shell and flap will have mated hook and loop fastener tape lock stitched to it to close and secure the flap.

PANT SPECIFICATION

The pant outer shell and liner system shall be constructed of seven body panels consisting of two front panels, four back panels and a large seamless crotch panel. The pant rise shall be approximately 14” (graded according to size). The body panels shall be ergonomically designed to construct a pant with a noticeable natural bend at the knee. The outer shell and liner shall have four darts - two above and two below the natural bend of the knee along the side seams to permit an unrestricted range of motion when the knee is bent.

All seams joining the body panels shall be felled and double needle lock stitched. The stitch type shall be 401, double lock stitch, as defined by Federal Standard 751a and seam type LSC-2 as defined by Federal Standard 751a, ensuring that all stitches penetrate four layers of cloth at the joining. All seams shall be sewn with an average of nine stitches per inch. All thread shall be 100% Nomex® Tex 80 thread. No chain stitching shall be allowed due to the chance of unraveling if one stitch is broken.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

Purpose: To ensure that the Government has an effective and systematic method of surveillance for the delivery of supplies in the SOW. The QASP will be used primarily as a tool to verify that the Contractor is delivering all supplies required by the SOW in a timely delivery to appropriate location, accurate quantity, and top quality manufacturing.

1. Performance Measurement: Performance will be measured in accordance with the following table:

SOW 6.0

“Timely” defined as

shipped within 90 working working days after receipt days of receipt of order.

PRS #4. Contractor shall deliver ordered items with quality manufacturing (i.e.

Manufacturer specifications) and customized per sizes provided.

SOW 5.0 & 6.0

Contractor delivered returned due to poor manufacture or incorrect sizing.

COR/TA

If performance is within acceptable levels, it will be considered to be satisfactory. If not, overall performance may be considered unsatisfactory.

Incentives/Disincentives:

The COR’s makes an annual report on Contractor Performance (CPARS or other annual report). The Contractor’s failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract/task order, reflected in the COR’s annual report, may result in termination of the contract/task order and may also result in the loss of future Government contracts/task orders. The Contractor’s failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract/task order may result in the non-exercise of available options

For each item that does not meet acceptable levels, the Government may issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). CDRs will be forwarded to the Contracting Officer with a copy sent to the Contractor. The Contractor must reply in writing within 5 days of receipt identifying how future occurrences of the problem will be prevented. Based upon the Contractor’s past performance and plan to solve the problem, the Contracting Officer will determine if any further action will be taken.

In accordance with the inspection of services provisions of the contract, the Contractor will be incentivized to provide quality products in a timely manner since the Government can require the Contractor, at no additional cost, to replace or correct work that fails to meet contract require image1.png image2.png image3.png
