About this opportunity
The U.S. Forest Service Region 5 in California is seeking to procure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) gear through this Request for Information, specifically targeting Drager PSS5000 or PSS7000 SCBA systems with detailed technical specifications including 45-minute carbon fiber cylinders, UEBSS, PASS device, and Drager FPS 7000 face pieces. The procurement aims to replace and standardize SCBA gear across Region 5 forests to enhance firefighter safety and interoperability. Vendors must provide comprehensive SCBA specifications, on-site training, initial mask fit testing, and equipment maintenance as part of their response. Interested companies must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their detailed responses via email to megan.acord@usda.gov. The submission deadline is 1400 MST on July 21, 2025, providing vendors with only five days to prepare their responses.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with a size standard of 550 employees, operating under NAICS code 339999 for All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing. The anticipated contract structure is firm-fixed price (FFP) and is expected to be awarded as a sole source to Cascade Fire Equipment Company, indicating a likely incumbent relationship. The contract is categorized under PSC 4210 for Fire Fighting Equipment, reflecting the specialized nature of the procurement. The period of performance is estimated at 90 days after award, suggesting a relatively rapid deployment timeline for the SCBA gear replacement initiative across the California forest service region.
