Brevard County Board of County Commissioners is conducting a sole-source procurement for authorized distribution and support of CrewBoss wildland firefighting protective clothing and equipment through FIRE-TEC1 Inc., the exclusive authorized distributor for Florida and Georgia markets, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026 at 12:00 PM. This is a decision-flipping sole-source procurement under Florida Statutes Section 287.057(5)(3)(c) and Brevard County Policy BCC-25.

The scope covers CrewBoss wildland firefighting protective gear, including clothing, helmets, gloves, and related equipment necessary for state forestry and emergency management operations. FIRE-TEC1 Inc.'s exclusive authorized distributor status is the basis for the sole-source justification, emphasizing the operational necessity of partnering with an authorized distributor to maintain compliance with equipment specifications, warranty requirements, and manufacturer support.

Respondents who believe they can meet or exceed the stated requirements may submit convincing technical data to challenge the sole-source determination. Brevard County reserves the right to cancel the sole-source notice and advertise a formal solicitation if respondents can supply substantially similar products or services. The county assumes no responsibility for responses received after the posted deadline. Heather Riley serves as the primary contact for the Fire Rescue department, which is administering the procurement. No specific contract value, quantities, or term length is provided in the notice.
