Portable Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) Live Fire BPA REAQ

Cannon AFB, NM requires Portable Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Live Fire Trainer and operator that will enable Cannon F&ES to train/maintain Aircraft Firefighter certifications in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards 1003 and 1403, and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 139 requirements. This is a requirement for live fire training evolutions for F&ES personnel over a period of 5 days to ensure all members receive the training. Bi-annual training will occur in the months of April and August. This BPA should cover a period of 5 years. Aircraft live fire training is required on a bi-annual basis by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center s (AFCEC) Master Training Plan (MTP), and on an annual basis by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) per FAA Part 139. Moreover, AFI 10-210 requires fire protection personnel to complete Aircraft Live Fire Training every 12 months. Due to an extensive amount of safety issues, Cannon Fire & Emergency Service's (F&ES) static ARFF live fire trainer has been rendered out-of-service and would require costly repairs more than $1.5M. This has caused a significant training deficiency which could degrade rescue and firefighting capabilities of F&ES personnel. To augment the out-of-service ARFF training equipment and ensure timely compliance with the training requirements, the resulting contract of this effort will provide the required training equipment and instruction to all F&ES personnel.
