About this file
This is an official procurement calendar for the Virginia Sheriffs' Association (VSA) 2025-2026 First Responder Supplies and Equipment bid program (Bid 26-02-0523). The VSA is soliciting vendors to provide first responder supplies and equipment across 472 line items spanning multiple categories including adapters, ballistic shields, cameras, communications equipment, cybersecurity solutions, drones, firearms, medical supplies, personal protective equipment, software, tactical robots, technology hardware, training systems, and uniforms. Vendor registration through VendorLink opened February 13, 2025, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for March 18, 2025, via Zoom. The bid period runs from May 1, 2025, through May 23, 2025, at 12 noon EST, with bid submissions required through VendorLink. Government reference submissions from five references (including one Virginia public body) are due by May 23, 2025, at 12 noon EST. The VSA will publish bid tabulation results on May 27, 2025, conduct reviews through June 16, 2025, and announce final awards on June 20, 2025. The contract term runs from June 20, 2025, through June 19, 2026. A rollover contract (Bid 25-01-0524R) will also go into effect on June 20, 2025, for current contractors.
All bids must include a minimum 6% discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and a 0.75% commission fee. Vendors must submit comprehensive documentation including manufacturer certifications, insurance certificates, bank references, and company summaries demonstrating financial competency. Required qualifications include maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, providing a drug-free workplace certification, and being subject to potential on-site inspections by the VSA to confirm capabilities. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations. This cooperative purchasing contract will benefit public bodies throughout the United States, not limited to Virginia, and operates under a catalog discount model allowing participating first responder agencies flexibility in selecting equipment from multiple manufacturers through a single competitively bid contract vehicle. The VSA reserves the right to award the contract in whole or in part.
