Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment serving thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, nonprofits, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The solicitation encompasses participating entities in Washington state, including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County, though the cooperative framework extends nationwide. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by 3:30 p.m. Central Time on June 16, 2026; no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions (WEBS) system. The solicitation does not identify specific award values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendors in available documentation. This cooperative purchasing structure allows selected vendors to supply law enforcement equipment across multiple jurisdictions through a single framework agreement with flexible participating addenda.
