Description:
The City of Tacoma’s Fire Department is seeking market information on Self‑Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) systems to support a future procurement and evaluation effort. Vendors are asked to provide catalog pricing, technical literature, warranty details, and the ability to supply demo units for a two‑day evaluation in late April 2026. No contract award will be made from this RFI; the data will be used for planning and potential future solicitation. • Required SCBA quantities include 201 units with integrated PASS, 4 special‑ops units, associated air bottles, facepieces, and accessories. • Technical compliance must meet NFPA 1970 (2025), NFPA 1850 (2026), NFPA 1986 (2023), WAC 296‑305‑4001, NIOSH certification, positive‑pressure design, and interoperability with existing radio systems. • Vendors must submit a Letter of Interest, technical specifications, warranty information, and be prepared to provide up to 12 demo SCBAs and related equipment for evaluation on 21‑22 April 2026.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$800,000 – $2,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on the listed quantities (≈201 PASS‑integrated SCBAs, 4 special‑ops units, 600+ air bottles, facepieces, and accessories), a typical unit price ranges from $4,500 to $7,500. Assuming an average of $5,500 per SCBA plus $300 per bottle and $150 per facepiece, total market value could fall between $800,000 and $2,000,000. This range reflects potential future contract sizes rather than the RFI itself.
