Airmation Filters

The Unified Fire Authority (UFA) in Salt Lake City, Utah, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ #2025-05) seeking replacement filters for their AirMation air filtration systems. The procurement specifically requires 105 units of three distinct filter stages: a pre-filter measuring 24 x 24 x 4" rated at MERV 8, a high-efficiency final filter measuring 24 x 24 x 12" rated at MERV 16, and a specialized gas-phase filter designed to remove hydrocarbons and VOCs while reducing carbon monoxide levels. Vendors must submit quotes electronically through the Bonfire procurement platform by Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM (MST). The evaluation criteria will focus on product quality, specification conformity, delivery time, and other relevant factors, with the potential to award multiple contracts. Mandatory documentation for submission includes a current W-9 form, municipal business licenses, DOPL license (if applicable), Certificate of Insurance, and Workers Compensation Coverage. Vendors are encouraged to offer Energy Star certified or recycled products and can propose pricing guarantees for 1, 2, or 3-year periods.

While the RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it provides flexibility for vendors by allowing multiple contract awards. The solicitation does not mention incumbent vendors or require specific integration with existing infrastructure beyond the AirMation air filtration system. The document indicates that pricing will be unit-based, with vendors required to provide individual pricing for each filter type and the option to propose volume or duration-based discounts. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the requirement for 105 units of three different filter types suggests a moderate-scale procurement. The UFA reserves the right to evaluate quotes comprehensively and select vendors that best meet their operational needs, potentially considering factors beyond pricing such as product quality, delivery capabilities, and overall value proposition.
