About this file
This document is a "How to Use This Contract" guide for a NASPO (National Association of State Procurement Officials) contract for Body Armor and Ballistic Resistant Products, issued by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of State Purchasing. The contract number is 46151500-NASPO-21-ACS, and it is designed for use by state agencies in Florida, with eligible users defined under Rule 60A-1.001 of the Florida Administrative Code. The primary procurement method is through MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP), the state's online procurement system, with multiple contractors including GH Armor Systems Inc. and Slate Solutions, LLC.
The contract covers body armor and ballistic resistant products, with specific procurement guidelines for state agencies. Agencies are encouraged to request at least two quotes from Enterprise-Wide Agreements with multiple vendors, unless the total purchase is below a specified cost threshold or the agreement specifies a different quote requirement. Contractors can be contacted directly for quotes, and purchases can be made using MFMP catalogs or by creating requisitions. The contract provides flexibility for agencies, noting they are not required to use this alternate contract source if better pricing is available elsewhere, but must follow proper procurement methods if choosing an alternative vendor. Detailed instructions are provided for catalog types, commodity codes, and payment procedures using the Florida Accounting Information Resource (FLAIR).
