About this file

This technical specifications document outlines the requirements for an Active Threat Response Modular Training System being procured by the Iowa Department of Public Safety through a Request for Bids opening December 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with proposals due January 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. The procurement calls for approximately 200 modular wall panels with integrated operational doors and windows designed to simulate emergency response scenarios for law enforcement training. Key specifications mandate panels weighing no more than 75 pounds with built-in carry handles, tool-free assembly capability, weatherproof construction resistant to challenging conditions, and height between 6.5 and 8 feet. The panels must connect without visible gaps, accommodate uneven terrain installation, withstand repeated impact from handgun and rifle cartridges without material degradation, and allow easy cleanup of impact marks using standard cloth materials. Hardware must be commercial-grade to resist forcible breaching during training exercises, and the system must maintain structural integrity and durability despite modular construction design.

Bidders are required to submit three customer references, complete Terminations, Litigation and Debarment documentation, and provide business experience and residency compliance information. Delivery is specified as FOB Destination to the Iowa Department of Public Safety in Des Moines, with payment terms structured as Net 60 days per Iowa Code 8A.514, with optional discounts available for payments made within 30 days. The State of Iowa expresses preference for payment through its Purchasing Card Program. Optional components include user training and furniture packages available for inclusion in bids. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or enterprise preferences are indicated, allowing open competition among qualified bidders. The contract will be issued as a purchase order with potential for extension at the discretion of the Lead Agency.

Text version

• Lightweight – preferably not to exceed 75 pounds per panel with carry handles built in.

• Tool-free assembly- the panels shall be able to be connected and secured without bolts and tools.

• Adjustable to various terrains – the panels shall be able to be connected on uneven surfaces.

• Weatherproof – the panels shall be able to withstand the challenging weather conditions without impacting the integrity of the material.

• Doors/Windows – the bid shall include approximately 200 panels with operational doors and windows. The doors/windows should also be constructed to withstand forcible breaching with commercial grade hardware.

• The mounting/connecting hardware shall not allow a visible gap between the panels which would allow an unrealistic training setting, allowing students to see into the area they are clearing.

• Durable – the panels shall be constructed of material that is highly modular but strong enough to allow for repeated marking cartridge impacts from handgun and rifle platforms. The clean-up of such impacts is easily accomplished with a clean cloth.

• Height – the height of said panels shall not exceed 8 feet and be not less than 6.5 feet.
