Description
Description — Fire Fighting/Crash Rescue Vehicles
This P-1 line procures a variety of critical fire fighting and crash rescue vehicles. Vehicles typically include, but are not limited to, the following: -- The P-19 Crash Truck is an Air Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle that is a first response vehicle on the scene of an aircraft fire emergency. It equips bases with the capability to rapidly extinguish aircraft fires. This truck is a mandatory flight line operations safety requirement and is essential at bases with a flying mission. The P-19 also provides fire fighting capability for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve installations located at municipal airports. An installation's P-19 requirement is determined by the type of aircraft frequenting the aerial facility and the resulting gallons per minute of fire fighting agent required. This vehicle provides aircrew, passenger, weapons, and airframe fire protection at a crash site. -- The P-21 Aerial Lift Truck is a fire fighting vehicle with a 105 foot aerial ladder. It provides improved agent delivery over older model vehicles, as well as the capability to provide elevated delivery of agent involving high rise buildings and warehouse facilities. -- The P-22 4x2 and P-24 4x4 Pumper Trucks are designed primarily to fight structural fires. The trucks have a 750-gallon water tank and a 50-gallon Aqueous FilmFoam class "A" foam tank and are capable of applying 1250 gallons per minute. P-24 is built on a rugged 4x4 chassis that equips forces with limited off-road/rugged terrain capability. The P-22 4x2 Pumper Truck has the same fire fighting capability as the P-24, but is used in urban areas. -- The P-23 Crash Truck is a larger version of the P-19 ARFF truck and has a larger fire suppression capacity. It is primarily assigned at transport, bomber, depot, and cargo aircraft bases. -- The P-26 Water Tanker Truck is a 4000-gallon resupply truck used to support the ARFF vehicles, fight wild land fires, and provide mutual assistance to communities. -- The P-29 Wild Land Firefighting Truck is a four-person crew cab truck which contains a modular agent and pump and roll delivery system as well as firefighting tools and equipment. This truck is outfitted with a Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) and has a 500 gallon water tank. The truck is intended to combat wild land and brush type fires. -- The P-30 is a Medium Rescue Vehicle. It is designed to bring equipment, lighting, a winch, and a generator to the scene of a rescue event. This vehicle has 450 cubic feet of storage space and affords easy equipment access and improved storage compartments. This truck is assigned to the larger industrial bases. -- The P-31 Hazardous Material Vehicle is a dual purpose vehicle that stows and transports hazardous material response equipment for the purpose of mitigating chemical leaks, spills, and releases. This vehicle also provides an incident command workstation area for the purpose of research, command, control, and communications during containment/cleanup operations. -- The P-33 Quint Truck is a fire fighting truck with a 75 foot aerial ladder. It provides improved agent delivery over older models as well as the capability to provide elevated delivery of agent involving high rise and warehouse facilities. -- The P-34 is a first response Air Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle which equips forces with initial "knock down" capability. The P-34 is the first fire truck to employ Ultra High Pressure (UHP) technology which allows the vehicle to discharge a mixture of water and foam at 1350 psi. This UHP technology makes the vehicle three times more effective than a conventional ARFF truck. The truck has a 400 gallon water tank and a 50 gallon foam tank along with a bumper turret and 200 feet of hand line all mounted on an F-550 chassis. -- The Rapid Intervention Vehicle (RIV) is a first response aircraft fire truck; it is the newest addition to the Air Force's fleet of crash response vehicles. The RIV is the first vehicle in the AF to use new Ultra High Pressure (UHP) fire fighting technology which makes this truck 3 to 3.5 times more efficient at knock-down than conventional ARFF vehicles. This feature increases the length of time the vehicle can remain on the scene without having to be resupplied. Perched on an F550 chassis, the RIV is equipped with a 4-wheel drive train; it provides seating for four, equips fire fighters with limited storage for rescue equipment; has a bumper turret, a 200 ft hand line and a winch. Because of its size, speed and agility this truck can get to a crash scene quickly and perform fire fighting operations until the larger trucks can arrive at the scene. These vehicles are all built to meet the performance standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Air Force safety regulations. Some vehicles in this exhibit are procured with European Defense Initiative funding. "This requirement [or modification] supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D "Audits: audit of financial statements of Department of Defense components by independent external auditors. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0702831F, 0901279F.
Justification
Justification — Fire Fighting/Crash Rescue Vehicles
FY26 procurement dollars in the amount of 58.416M will procure, but not be limited to, 64 vehicles in support of installation and unit mission requirements for Air Force personnel. Quantities are based on current requirements provided by the 441 Vehicle Support Chain Operations Squadron (VSCOS) IAW the process outlined in AFI 24-302, Vehicle Management. The requirements are generated from the priority buy model that is used to support the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process. The model calculates vehicle requirements by fund year by BPAC using end of life projections based on depreciation and service life of the vehicle, cumulative sustainment cost and mission priority. Quantities reflected on the PDOCs show current requirements for each year supporting Active Duty, Air Force Reserve Center (AFRC), Air National Guard (ANG), Rapid Airfield Damage Repair (RADR), Regional Base Cluster Prepositioning Kits (RBCP) for PACOM, and other initiatives as they arise. As the model applies the life expectancy/sustainment cost/mission priority logic in generating requirements, there can be gaps in individual vehicle type (NSN) requirements from year-to-year. Unit Cost is subject to change from year-to-year based on buy quantities, CONUS/OCONUS locations, inflation and additional requirements (options required by users). Examples of options include, but are not limited to, export engine (non-Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), Winterization packages, Tire Chains, Pump (Side or Top), Hose bed (Crosslay or Deadlay), Altitude, Platform Height, Extended Bumper, Air Foam, Cascade Air, and Turret. Increases in supply costs due to vendor year to year increases will play a role in future unit cost increases. In particular Air Transportable P-19C, with the highest price point in the portfolio has only one certified vendor (ATTLA) on contract. Between FY24 and FY25 the price for this vehicle has gone from 1.082M to 1.090M a unit. Other contributing factors include COVID pandemic related disruptions, supply chain issues and rising fuel costs. These factors also play a role in a reduction of viable competitors in marketplace which also drives up cost.
