This five‑year small‑purchase contract requires the vendor to test 36 masks annually and conduct two sets of cylinder hydrostatic tests (10 cylinders in April 2028 and 12 cylinders in March 2031) following NFPA standards, provide detailed reports, and handle any necessary repairs after state approval.

The vendor must maintain required insurance, retain records for three years, and comply with all state contractual terms. • Perform annual on‑site flow testing of 36 SCBA masks (mobile testing). • Conduct hydrostatic testing of 10 cylinders in April 2028 and 12 cylinders in March 2031. • Deliver complete test reports, manage repairs with state approval, and meet all security, background‑check, and insurance requirements.
