The Mississippi Department of Public Safety, Law Enforcement Planning and Standards Bureau is seeking to procure the KDL Solutions ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) Active Shooter Kit along with the ERASE add-on training equipment through a sole source purchase request. This procurement is being issued as Solicitation 1711-26-R-RFIN-00011, posted on March 31, 2026, with a proposal due date of April 21, 2026. The acquisition encompasses specialized active shooter response training kits and supplementary training materials designed to enhance law enforcement capabilities in responding to active shooter situations. The ALERRT system represents equipment and resources specifically tailored to meet the active shooter response training standards established by the Mississippi Law Enforcement Planning and Standards Bureau. The sole source justification indicates that KDL Solutions' ALERRT kit is uniquely suited to the department's specialized training requirements, with no suitable alternatives available from competing vendors. The procurement will be processed without competitive bidding procedures, allowing direct purchase from the designated sole source vendor based on the exclusive capability to provide the specified training equipment and materials.

As a sole source procurement, this opportunity is restricted to KDL Solutions as the sole qualified vendor capable of providing the specified ALERRT Active Shooter Kit and ERASE add-on components. The sole source designation waives competitive bidding requirements, meaning other organizations are not able to submit proposals for this contract opportunity. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other organizational categories have been identified in the available procurement documentation. The specific budget allocation and award value for this sole source purchase are determined through the Mississippi Department of Public Safety's procurement authority; however, the exact funding amount is not disclosed in the posted notice. This approach allows the state to directly procure from KDL Solutions to ensure the department obtains the specialized training equipment necessary to meet established active shooter response training standards without delay.
