Provision of Firefighter Turnout Gear

Gwinnett County is soliciting a vendor to supply, fit, and support a full line of firefighter turnout gear—including protective coats and pants—under a one‑year contract with up to four optional renewals. The gear must meet a suite of NFPA, ASTM, and other performance standards, include barcode‑enabled asset tracking, and be delivered with a “fitter line” for initial deployment. The vendor must also provide nine size‑specific sample sets at no cost for wear‑testing, maintain measurement records, and offer technical assistance and repair services. • Required deliverables: 327 protective coats and 327 pants (plus accessories) annually, with custom features such as reinforced cuffs, ergonomic cuts, and DRD integration. • Technical compliance: Must satisfy NFPA 1970 (2025), NFPA 1500 (2021), NFPA 1851 (2020), ASTM D 6193‑97, and NFPA 2500 (2027) standards, plus BPR performance and barcode labeling. • Additional obligations: Conduct fittings by 25 Sept 2026, supply nine sample sets for wear testing, maintain traceability, provide on‑call technical support, and adhere to strict insurance and affidavit requirements.
