This is a Total Small Business set-aside (NAICS 336211, 1,000-employee size standard).

Place of performance is Susanville, California, with the contractor facility required to be located within 150 miles of Susanville; the Forest Service will provide transportation of vehicles to and from the contractor's location.

Work includes supply and installation of emergency response equipment per Forest Service specifications. Each vehicle requires a 48"–60" LED light bar with dual-color flashing and takedown modules, alley lights, work lights, and twelve-LED traffic advisor; forward and aft warning lights; 100-watt siren speaker with PA and radio rebroadcast; siren/switch controller with nine-switch light controller minimum and four basic siren tones; Troy CC-WBOS-20 radio console or equivalent with four 12-volt power points including USB charging; pre-wired radio harnesses for two agency mobile radios; two antenna mounts; heavy-duty timed battery disconnect; and Scotchlite 3M reflective striping with specified green and white configurations and Forest Service door decals. Contract time per vehicle does not exceed 30 calendar days, though time is negotiable and an evaluation factor. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty on installation of new components, wiring, connectors, and decals.

Award will be made on a firm fixed price basis to the single lowest price technically acceptable offeror with acceptable or neutral past performance. Offerors must submit detailed technical approaches demonstrating ability to meet schedule requirements and any work limitations, and must list any "or equal" items separately for technical review.
