City of Alexandria is seeking a qualified distributor to supply a comprehensive turn‑out gear package for its fire department on an as‑needed basis. The contract covers coats, pants, boots, helmets, hoods, gloves, gear bags, and lettering patches, all required to meet NFPA 1971 (2007), NFPA 1500 (2013), ISO 9001, and UL‑listing standards, with a 60‑day delivery requirement and freight prepaid. Prices are submitted by bidders and the City may award on an item‑by‑item basis, with a potential one‑year renewal.
• Eight core gear items (coat, pant, boot, helmet, hood, glove, bag, patch) specified with detailed material and construction standards.
• No guaranteed order quantities; supplies are ordered “as‑needed” during the base year (2026‑2027) and possibly a renewal year (2027‑2028).
• Vendors must be authorized distributors, provide warranties, UL certifications, and comply with a 60‑day ARO delivery schedule; bid and performance bonds percentages are to be determined.
