The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking to procure Honeywell Morning Pride firefighter turnout gear or equivalent products for the Bath VA Medical Center Fire Department. The procurement specifically requires National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1971-compliant structural firefighting protective coats and pants that meet or exceed the performance, design, and material specifications of the Honeywell Morning Pride series. The turnout gear must provide the highest industry standards for thermal protection, durability, and mobility for structural firefighting operations. The awarded contractor will be required to provide on-site fitting and measurement services for the new personnel at the Bath VA Medical Center in Bath, NY. The solicitation response deadline is July 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and the full solicitation will be issued electronically through the Contract Opportunities website at sam.gov. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 315990 (Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 4210 (Fire Fighting Equipment).

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under the Small Business Administration (SBA) requirements, restricting competition to qualifying small business enterprises. The specific requirement is to outfit five newly hired fire department personnel with complete turnout gear sets, indicating a relatively small-scale procurement focused on equipping new staff members. No incumbent contractor or current service provider information has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement does not specify award values or budget ranges at this pre-solicitation stage, as these details will likely be included in the formal solicitation document. The timeline appears focused on immediate needs for the newly hired personnel, with the contractor expected to provide both the equipment and fitting services upon award.
