65--RFI for Respirators for USWFS

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Wildland Fire Service is conducting market research to identify commercially available, reusable half‑facepiece air‑purifying respirator (APR) systems suitable for wildland‑fire operations. Respondents must provide detailed corporate, technical, operational, logistics, and rough‑order‑magnitude pricing information for respirator units and associated cartridges. The RFI is non‑binding, no funds are allocated for responses, and there is no guarantee of a subsequent contract award. • Provide company background, UEI/CAGE, size classification, and prior wildland‑fire experience. • Supply full technical specifications of the respirator and cartridge, performance data (NIOSH approval, NFPA 1984 compliance, APF ≥ 10), field‑testing results, and suitability for high‑temperature, high‑exertion conditions. • Include ROM pricing for 100‑ and 1,000‑unit quantities, plus estimated annual operating costs for a fire season.
