Solicitation_Amendment_NO._1.pdf

This is a Solicitation Amendment No. 1 related to the State of Arizona's procurement for Off-Duty School Resource and School Safety Officers. The amendment modifies the original solicitation issued on June 12, 2025, with an initial response deadline of July 11, 2025. The procurement seeks qualified law enforcement personnel to provide off-duty security and safety services across school environments within Arizona. The services encompass monitoring school premises, ensuring student safety, and responding to potential security threats. Prospective vendors must demonstrate expertise in school safety protocols, current law enforcement certifications, and provide personnel with appropriate training and background clearances. The amendment adjusts specific requirements, evaluation criteria, or administrative procedures from the original solicitation to clarify expectations or address bidder inquiries from the solicitation process.

The procurement does not establish explicit set-aside designations or organizational restrictions, though only certified law enforcement professionals or security firms with documented experience in school safety are anticipated to be competitive. Respondents should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of officer credentials, background checks, and relevant training certifications. While incumbent vendors are not identified in available information, the procurement suggests potential ongoing needs for school safety personnel across multiple school districts or educational jurisdictions within Arizona. Specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the amendment; however, school safety contracts typically represent significant financial investments, potentially ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars depending on the number of officers and geographic coverage required.
