ODOC-FY25-RFI-OFA Bunker Gear Rental

The Ohio Fire Academy (OFA) is seeking proposals from suppliers to provide rental and daily uniform services for cadets attending their training programs. The contract involves supplying bunker gear—including coats, pants, suspenders, rubber structure boots, gloves, and hoods—for fire classes, as well as duty uniforms such as short-sleeved shirts and pants for both fire and EMT students. The supplier will be involved in the sizing and measurement process for each cadet during their class, which is conducted on a rolling basis, making the exact number of recipients uncertain beforehand. On average, fire classes consist of approximately 36 students requiring bunker gear and uniforms, while EMT classes typically have around 24 students needing only duty uniforms. The contract, titled "ODOC-FY25-RFI-OFA Bunker Gear Rental," is posted under solicitation number SRC0000022536 with a response deadline of August 9, 2024. It falls within the NAICS code 315210 and is managed by the Ohio Department of Commerce, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The project aims to ensure that cadets are properly outfitted during their training sessions, with the supplier responsible for providing the necessary gear and uniforms in a timely manner to support the OFA’s training operations.
