2008 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) made an allocation of grant funds
to the State of Iowa. Iowa Homeland
Security and Emergency Management entered into Sub-grantee Agreement # 2008-GE-T8-2008-021-SWATwith
the City of Des Moines, to administer Iowa’s
WMD Tactical (SWAT) Task Force Program grant.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
Iowa’s WMD Tactical (SWAT) Task Force Program Leadership Committee completed a capability assessment and
investment justification for FFY 2008 Homeland Security Grant Program funding,
based on the National Preparedness Goal, federal Target Capabilities List and the
Iowa Strategy for Homeland Security and Emergency Management 2006-2008. The MT-94 non-encapsulating entry
suits and MNTRN-70 training suits are part of the
acquisitions approved for purchase by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Grants and Training, and Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management, which
are consistent with the federal Approved Equipment List (AEL).
The City of Des Moines serves as the fiscal agent and authorized
representative for the administration of Iowa’s FFY 2008 Homeland Security
Grant Program funds on behalf of Iowa’s WMD
Tactical (SWAT) Task Force Program.
The
Procurement Administrator and the Iowa’s

non-encapsulating entry suits and MNTRN-70 training suits are only available from Lion Apparel Inc., 6450 Poe Ave, Dayton, Ohio 45414, who is the sole manufacturer and
distributor.
After reviewing the Police Chief’s request to bid
this equipment, it was determined by the Procurement Administrator of the

this equipment from the manufacturer and sole worldwide distributor of the
product.
