1.3 The cost of the turnout coats and the pants shall include Fire Fighter nameplates:

1.3.1 The coat/tails shall have a stitched 2 inch, 2 line FEDERAL FIRE name plate on the back of each coat/tails and a 2 inch Velcro nameplate on the bottom of the back of each coat/tails bearing the fire-fighters name.

1.3.2 The pants shall have the fire-fighters name stitched onto the inside label to identify to whom they belong.

1.3.3 Names and location of individual Fire Fighters to receive turnouts shall be supplied to the contractor after award.

1.4 Price/unit for each item (i.e. one coat / one pant) shall include shipping and handling charges

– FOB Destination – in the bid proposal

2.0 Background:

2.1 NRSW 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 NRSW 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 Honeywell Morning Pride Turnouts and begin utilizing Fire-Dex TecGen71 Turnouts. NRSW is moving away from Honeywell PPE 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 Honeywell Morning Pride significantly reducing firefighter heat-stress related injuries. (See comparison chart SEC 11.0, Table 1)

2.2.3 Honeywell Morning Pride garment costs are increasing and remain more costly to purchase and maintain over its life cycle than Fire Dex TecGen71. (Honeywell price increase, material did not meet the standards).

2.2.4 Honeywell has repeatedly delayed shipments for up to 365 days causing a serious gap in the ability to outfit firefighters creating a hazardous work environment and work stoppage

2.2.5 Honeywell Morning Pride offers no service to track garments for inventory accountability.

Fire Dex TecGen71 offers this service at no additional cost once garments are initially purchased.

2.2.6 As with Honeywell Morning Pride® brand for structural tails and pants, 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.

TABLE 1: COMPARISON CHART:

Honeywell Morning Pride & FIRE-DEX TecGen71 Turnouts

Below is a comparison between the current Morning Pride specifications and the new proposed specification. To better understand the differences in performance values for both ensembles, here is a brief description of NFPA 1971 TPP and THL values.

TPP (Thermal Protective Performance)

Measure of Thermal Insulation of Protection The TPP Test is a destructive composite test that is meant to simulate a flashover condition at

2000◦ F

- Outer Shell, Moisture Barrier & Thermal Liner are ALL tested together

NFPA 1971 Minimum Standard for TPP is 35 TPP

THL (Total Heat Loss)

Measures how well ALL 3-layers of composites allow the body heat to escape… “Hostile Microclimate”

It assesses the loss of heat, both by the evaporation of sweat and the conduction of heat, through the 3- layers of the ensemble

Higher Insulation (Thicker, Denser, Heavier) Equals Lower THL Values NFPA Minimum Standard is 205 W/m2

THL measures the breathability of the ensemble. In order to physiologically tell a difference in breathability you need to have a 30 Point difference in THL. This means an ensemble offering 347.7 THL will have 2.5x more breathable than ensemble offering 268.9 THL.

Current Spec- Morning Pride Advance/Glide Ice SL2/Crosstech Black = TPP 35.6 THL 268.9 Proposed Spec TechGen71 technology TecGen71/Core CXP 1layer/Sted4000 = TPP 37.5 THL 347.7

Composite Comparisons Outer Shells Advance Soft 7.2 osy. – 60% Kevlar/40% Nomex – Rip Stop Weave – Decomposition 1000 -1050◦ F

TecGen71 6.5 osy. – 60% Kevlar/22% Nomex/18% TecGen fabric – Rip-Stop Twill Weave, The TecGen fiber is a highly engineered fiber containing a high-density carbon shell surrounding a strong, flexible core, providing the thermal protection benefits of carbon fiber. It’s the ONLY outer shell that provides TPP. This allows the ensemble to have a thinner thermal liner to lessen heat stress by reducing weight and increasing flexibility. Decomposition 1050 -1100◦ F

Thermal Liners Glide Ice SL2 7.4 osy. – Consisting of 1 layer of 1.5 oz. and 1 layer of 2.3 oz. Nomex E89 spunlace, quilted to a 3.6 oz. Glide Ice facecloth consisting of 60% Nomex Filament and 40% Nomex/Lenzing FR spun yarns.

Core CXP 1-Layer 5.6 osy. – 1 layer of 2.3 oz. of E89 spunlace, quilted to a 3.3 oz. facecloth consisting of 93% Nomex/5% Kevlar/2% P-140, plain weave with pure softener finish.

Moisture Barriers Crosstech Black - Type 2-C which is comprised of a Crosstech membrane laminated to a 3.2 ounce/yard2 Nomex® IIIA woven pajama check substrate. The Crosstech membrane is an enhanced bicomponent membrane comprised of an expanded PTFE (Teflon) matrix having a continuous hydrophilic (i.e. water-loving) and oleophobic (i.e. oil hating) coating that is impregnated in the matrix

Stedair 4000 - A tri-component moisture barrier constructed using a 3.2 oz/yd2 woven Nomex pajama check substrate laminated to a membrane comprised of an expanded PTFE matrix combined to a continuous hydrophilic and oliophobic polymer coating that is impregnated into the matrix. The approximate weight shall be 5.0 osy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ins id e 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.

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.

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.

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.

The outer shell color shall be GOLD.

The outer shell shall be TECGEN71, a rip-stop twill weave, 60% Kevlar/22%

Nomex/18% TECGEN fabric with an approximate weight of 6.5 ounces per square yard, treated with a water repellent finish. Color shall be Gold or

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.

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 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 requirement
