From the meeting
At its September 16, 2026 meeting the attorney relayed a client alert about a class action involving at least three fire service vehicle manufacturers that have consolidated, raising prices and slowing production. Chief Lescher said it does not affect FLFPD yet, but it will matter in the future when a new fire service vehicle must be purchased. This is useful incumbent and market intelligence for the next apparatus replacement cycle.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
