The City of Philadelphia, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Tampa, the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have posted solicitations in this space within the past four months. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment available to participating jurisdictions across the United States and Canada.
