The 82d CES/CEF is seeking to procure a Fire Safety Prevention Trailer equipped with ADA Accessibility features for an estimated budget of $250,000. The 27-foot trailer will include an aluminum construction, a solar charging system, and advanced training tools such as the FiAR Fire Extinguisher Training System. Justification for selecting a specific brand is rooted in the exclusive compliance with ADA Title III standards, which ensures access for individuals with disabilities. Other evaluated models failed to provide the necessary accessibility features. The need for this trailer arises from the inadequacy of the current, aged unit that does not meet ADA guidelines. The acquisition aims to enhance fire safety education by providing a modern, fully compliant training capacity that serves both the local community and personnel at Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB). The submission also details competitive efforts, noting two other vendors that lacked the required ADA features, and outlines the necessary actions to prevent future brand exclusivity. The contracting officer confirms that only this brand meets the outlined specifications and justifies the sole-source award under the applicable federal regulations. Overall, this procurement reflects a commitment to inclusive training practices while improving the quality of fire safety education.
