Bid Update Letter.docx

This is a Bid Update Letter from the City of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin Finance Department dated August 23, 2023, regarding solicitation 23-PD31 for ballistic plates for Sun Prairie Police Officers. The City received multiple bids for the ballistic plate procurement but has rejected all submissions. The Police Department will issue a revised bid solicitation with updated specifications designed to ensure officers receive optimal ballistic protection that fits their carriers while maintaining minimal weight. The revised bid is expected to be posted by the end of the week on DemandStar and VendorNet platforms.

The letter does not contain pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, funding amounts, or other financial details. No specific response or due dates are provided for the original or revised solicitation. The primary driver for the bid rejection and reissuance is the need to refine specifications to better meet the operational requirements of the Sun Prairie Police Department. Interested bidders are encouraged to monitor the procurement platforms for the updated solicitation. Questions regarding the matter should be directed to the City's Procurement Team at 608-825-1192 or purchase@cityofsunprairie.com.
