SCBA AIR PACK REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
The Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Service (“department”) utilizes SCBA air packs to
effectively respond to immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) situations and fulfill our mission of saving lives
and protecting property. The department is seeking to upgrade Scott SCBA Equipment to the 2025 Edition of the
NFPA 1970 Standard. This will include onsite training for approximately 10 personnel on SEMS and offering trade-in
credit for existing equipment. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1500 states that all SCBA
components must be manufactured by the same company. Scott Safety is the department’s current approved
standardized SCBA. In order to properly replace existing air packs, without service interruption, the department is
requesting to solicit a one-time purchase with qualified suppliers.
Scott SCBAs have been approved as a sole source for use by the County and therefore EQUIVALENTS WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED.
Unit Price MUST include all costs associated with this purchase including but not limited to delivery and training.
Delivery will be F.O.B. Destination, freight pre-paid and allowed to:
Gwinnett County Fire Apparatus and SCBA
