About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) advertisement issued by the North Carolina state government for Police Towing & Vehicle Evidence Storage services. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to provide towing services for police vehicles and secure storage facilities for vehicle evidence. The solicitation requires respondents to submit proposals addressing their capacity to handle police towing requests on a call-out basis and to maintain climate-controlled, secure evidence storage facilities that comply with law enforcement chain-of-custody requirements. The proposal submission deadline is specified in the RFP document, with award decisions expected following evaluation of qualified submissions. The resulting contract will establish an ongoing service agreement with an initial term and potential renewal options to be exercised at the discretion of the state.

Pricing for towing and evidence storage services will be submitted by vendors on a per-service basis, with rates subject to negotiation and approval by the state. The RFP may include set-asides for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors in accordance with North Carolina procurement regulations. The incumbent vendor information, if applicable, should be referenced within the RFP document. Funding for these services will be provided through the appropriate state law enforcement or administrative budget allocations. Vendors should demonstrate financial stability, appropriate licensing and insurance coverage, and experience managing similar public sector towing and evidence storage operations.
