Description of Requirement:

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Bedford Healthcare System, has a need for additional equipment to be added to Police Car 1. Car 1 is a 2024 Dodge Durango Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV). To utilize Car 1 to the full potential and the reasons it was leased, the below items are needed. These items will enable the vehicle to be used as it is intended as a patrol vehicle. The “cage” is a prisoner compartment that is needed for the safety of the officers and individuals taken into custody by the officers should the need arise. The window tint is needed to provide privacy for the officer in the vehicle so the general public are unable to determine where the officer may be looking.

See below for specific requirements.
