1PA5D01763 HUU Rescue Equipment

CAL FIRE's Humboldt-Unified Unit (HUU) Headquarters in Fortuna, California (Humboldt County) has issued Request for Quote (RFQ) Package 1PA5D01763 for the procurement of specialized rescue equipment necessary to support emergency response operations and maintain operational readiness. Posted on May 12, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 27, 2026, this competitive procurement solicits quotes for various rescue equipment items with specific quantities and technical specifications outlined in the detailed RFQ documentation. Vendors must submit pricing on a per-unit or per-item basis in accordance with the established submission procedures, which require sealed bids to be hand-delivered, sent via U.S. Mail, common carrier, or facsimile if authorized, with all submissions due by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the closing date. Bidders are solely responsible for ensuring timely receipt of their quotes, and all pricing must reflect any issued addenda, with prices submitted in U.S. currency in ink or typewritten format limited to four decimal places. Bid validity extends for forty-five days following the response due date, and the State reserves discretion to correct arithmetic errors or obvious clerical mistakes if bidder intent is clearly established. Award determination will be based on competitive evaluation of submitted quotes according to criteria specified in the RFQ documentation, though the specific evaluation weighting and technical specifications must be reviewed in the complete RFQ package materials.

The RFQ does not indicate explicit set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or other special categories; however, California-certified small businesses and bidders claiming Enterprise Zone Act, Target Area Contract Preference Act, or Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area Act eligibility may receive bid evaluation preferences upon completion of appropriate forms. All bidders must comply with California state procurement regulations, including the Electronic Waste Recycling Act, provision of seller's permits or Board of Equalization certifications, and completion of the mandatory Payee Data Record forms (STD 204 and optional STD 205) for payment processing. Additionally, vendors must provide written certification of postconsumer recycled-content percentages for applicable products under the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) program, certifying compliance under penalty of perjury for each item quoted. The RFQ documentation does not identify any incumbent vendors or specific existing contractors requiring integration, though interested parties should consult complete solicitation materials for such information. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available RFQ summary materials; vendors must contact CAL FIRE HUU Headquarters directly or review detailed RFQ documentation to obtain pricing guidance and budget parameters for this procurement.
