Fire Hose for Structural and Wildland Firefighting 2026

The City of Spokane is inviting bids for fire hose intended for both structural and wildland firefighting under Invitation to Bid ITB 6589-26, with submissions due by August 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time through the ProcureWare portal. The solicitation allows for award to multiple suppliers and is subject to City Council approval, with no pre-bid meeting scheduled. All questions must be submitted via the Clarifications tab on the ProcureWare platform, and the delivery and billing address is the Spokane Fire Department Training Facility at 1618 N Rebecca Street, Spokane, WA 99217. Evaluation of bids will be based on four factors in descending order of importance: price, including discounts; delivery and service capability; product quality and conformity to specifications; and the bidder’s character, integrity, reputation, and past performance on City contracts. No numerical weights or scoring thresholds are assigned, and while the basis of award is not explicitly stated, the inclusion of multiple qualitative factors suggests a trade-off process rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Bidders must ensure products are of the latest design and production, backed by manufacturer warranties, and comply with all referenced technical requirements without formally citing specific standards like NFPA or ASTM. No FAR clauses apply, as this is a municipal procurement not governed by federal acquisition regulations, and no federal certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status disclosures are required. The solicitation does not specify packaging, marking, labeling, barcoding, or shipping terms such as FOB, and no detailed contract administration data including payment offices, invoicing systems, or COR/COTR contacts are provided. The City retains full discretion to accept or reject any bid, award by product category, or select the combination most advantageous to its needs. Anti-price-fixing certification is required, but there are no provisions for security clearances, key personnel, contract options, or organizational conflict of interest clauses.
