The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Inclement Weather Protective Ensembles, RFI 9PA4Z00002. CAL FIRE is seeking information from manufacturers and vendors that can provide jackets and pants designed to protect personnel from rain, snow, and wind during various operational responses such as floods, snow removal, and traffic control. The inclement weather protective ensembles must meet detailed technical specifications, including requirements for fabric, seam sealing, high-visibility coloring, reflective trim, and design features such as adjustable cuffs, radio pockets, and suspenders for the pants. Interested suppliers are requested to submit product cost information, manufacturer specifications, and literature by 3PM PST on 11/18/2024, and CAL FIRE will provide responses to any submitted questions by 5PM PST on 11/08/2024.

The RFI does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFI also does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges. However, the RFI does include links to the State of California's general procurement guidance documents, which may be relevant for potential future solicitation.
