FY13-FB0-Cairns 1044 with ESS goggles Firefighting Helmet-OAPT588

The District of Columbia is seeking to procure firefighting helmets with ESS goggles under contract FY13-FB0-Cairns 1044, specifically OAPT588. This procurement appears to be focused on specialized protective equipment for fire and emergency services personnel. The contract opportunity was originally posted on February 11, 2013, with a very tight response window closing on February 13, 2013 - indicating an urgent procurement need. While specific technical specifications are not fully detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests the acquisition of firefighting helmets integrated with ESS (Emergency Services Systems) goggles, likely meeting specific safety and performance standards for municipal fire departments. The brevity of the posting and short response timeline implies this may be a targeted, specific procurement for immediate equipment replacement or supplementation.

No explicit set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions are mentioned in the available contract information. The procurement does not indicate whether it is limited to disadvantaged business enterprises or has specific small business provisions. Without additional context, it is not possible to definitively state the total award value or precise budget range for this helmet procurement. The contract appears to be specifically for the District of Columbia's fire service, suggesting this is a municipal-level procurement targeting direct replacement or augmentation of existing firefighting personal protective equipment. The extremely short posting and response window of just two days further suggests this may have been an expedited or emergency-type procurement process with urgent equipment needs.
