The Lexington / Richland County School District Five is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers for MSA G1 Self‑Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment and related accessories. The RFI aims to compile a list of manufacturers, authorized distributors, and resellers, verify their authorization status, and understand any distribution restrictions before moving to a competitive procurement process. This effort will help the district ensure compliance, secure reliable equipment, and potentially establish long‑term contracts for safety gear. • Identify manufacturers, authorized distributors, and resellers capable of providing MSA G1 SCBA units and accessories. • Verify each supplier’s manufacturer authorization and any distribution limitations. • Gather technical specifications, pricing structures, and support services to shape a future competitive bid. • Provide the district with a vetted supplier pool to streamline subsequent procurement and contract award.
