MEMORANDUM FOR MICC-Fort Drum

SUBJECT: Brand Name Letter for FedBid Buy #918799

1. Fort Stewart/HAAF is requesting to procure sets of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) made by Globe. The model is Globe G-Xtreme 3.0. The Fort Stewart/HAAF Fire & ESD uses this model of Globe Fire PPE. This purchase is to replace a percentage of our PPE due to current PPE’s shelf expiring and not passing NFPA required PPE testing. It is required for the department to stay with the Globe G-Xtreme 3.0 PPE due to mixing and matching with current inventory on hand. We are replacing only 25% of the on hand inventory, which will leave 75% of the department still wearing Globe G-Xtereme 3.0 PPE.

2. This is a request to procure Globe G-Xtreme 3.0 Firefighter PPE to remain consistent with current inventory.

3. Globe G-Xtreme 3.0 PPE meets all requirements set forth by the Fort Stewart/HAAF Fire & ESD and the NFPA and will keep the department consistent with current inventory already being used by the department.

4. For the reasons listed above, the Fort Stewart/HAAF Fire & ESD requests that a brand name or particular item(s) purchase of Personal Protective Equipment.

5. If there are any questions, please contact Deputy Chief Joseph Hightower at 912-767-9757.
