- Description
- Request for Information This is a Request For Information (RFI) announcement for purposes of conducting market research only. There is no solicitation available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. The U.S. Forest Service Technology and Development Program is conducting market research to identify materials, laminates (material layers glued together), or components that have a possible use in the wildland firefighter personal fire shelter. A fire shelter is an aluminized cloth tent that offers protection in a fire entrapment situation by reflecting radiant heat and providing a volume of breathable air. They are used by firefighters in the rare occurrence of a fire entrapment where firefighters feel the shelter is needed for protection from heat, smoke, and/or ember showers. The objective of this program is to review materials that may improve the level of radiant and convective heat protection while maintaining strength as compared to the current fire shelter. Size and weight limitations have not been defined. Since the fire shelter is carried along with other firefighter equipment, the size and weight of materials will be highly considered.
