The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (MSDPS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of men's and women's uniforms, specifically long and short sleeve shirts and trousers for the Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division. The solicitation (Bid Number 1711-25-R-IFBD-00002-V01) covers an estimated annual quantity of approximately 740 total uniform items, with a desired delivery by April 2025. Bids must be submitted by October 23, 2024, with a public bid opening scheduled for the same date, and the anticipated contract effective date is November 15, 2024. The contract term will be 12 months, with an option to renew for up to four additional 12-month periods. To be considered, bidders must be registered with the state of Mississippi and provide a W-9 form. MSDPS will require a pre-production sample from the lowest bidder that meets minimum specifications before contract award, and the department reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest and best bidder. Pricing must remain firm for the first 12 months, with potential price increases considered thereafter upon request.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The solicitation does not list incumbent vendors or provide detailed information about existing infrastructure requirements. While the exact budget range is not specified, the procurement involves uniform items for the Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Bidders must submit sealed bids, with MSDPS explicitly stating that fax or email bids will not be accepted. The total estimated annual quantity of 740 uniform items indicates a potentially significant contract value, though precise financial details are not disclosed in the available documents. Interested vendors should carefully review the full IFB documentation to understand all submission requirements, specification details, and potential contract expectations. The contract appears focused on providing standard uniform items for department personnel, with an emphasis on meeting specific technical and quality requirements.
