Team Leidos would like to make markets aware that we are intending to investigate innovative approaches to fill our future first aid extinguisher requirements in response to the recent ECHA proposal to ban PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Our aim is to maintain or improve our current capability around first aid (AKA portable) extinguishers (Water, CO2, Wet Chemical). It is the aim of this RFI to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware and provide as much information as they are comfortable with, to help decide the future strategy for range.
Team Leidos wishes to generate interest, information and views with other companies to understand the current market innovation for the replacement of PFAS in First Aid Extinguishers via this Request for Information (RFI) and gain useful intelligence that can help our requirement.
