They do have a shop in CA, but it is a service center, not a manufacturing facility.
Since they have not been awarded a contract by FDNY, someone lied to you! I recently visited the KME factory. They are well below full capacity, compared to what I have seen on previous visits. I think they will easily be able to increase production to fill the FDNY contract, if they get it, and keep the current schedule for everyone else.

On an update...our potential order is on hold due to a technicality so apparently all of the previously mentioned delays are moot. For the record, my information regarding our potential KME was gleaned from statements from the sales rep to members on our department.
