SC2212 - Thermal Imaging RFI.pdf

The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for thermal imaging cameras (TIC) to be used in firefighting operations. The purpose of this RFI is to gather information on commercially available TICs to develop specifications for a future Request for Proposal. The selected cameras will undergo evaluation by an OCFA Test Group during various training activities to assess usability, protection, durability, and location/convenience. Suppliers must meet specific qualifications to have their TIC product information considered for evaluation. The TICs must be designed for structural firefighting operations and provided at no cost to OCFA. The submission deadline for responses is July 31, 2017. The document also outlines instructions for bidders, including certification requirements, conflict of interest guidelines, and the disclaimer that no contract will be issued as a result of this RFI.
