2024-01 Police Department Uniforms

The Town of Fairfield, Connecticut, through its Police Department (FPD), is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive uniform procurement contract (Solicitation Number 2024-01). The solicitation requires qualified vendors to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and services to supply and deliver uniforms for Fairfield Police Department personnel. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid (ITB) with a specific timeline: the solicitation period runs from August 3, 2023, to August 23, 2023, and includes a vendor question and answer period from August 3, 2023, at 5:45 PM EDT to August 16, 2023, at 12:00 PM EDT. Bids are due by August 23, 2023, at 11:00 AM EDT, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination. While specific uniform quantities and detailed line items are not provided in the main documents, interested vendors are directed to a separate bid specification document titled "2024-01 Fairfield Police Department Uniforms.pdf" for comprehensive uniform requirements. The primary contact for this procurement is Pru O'Brien at the Town of Fairfield, located at 725 Old Post Road, Fairfield, CT 06824.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing uniform infrastructure that might require integration. The documents consistently indicate that payment terms will be vendor-specified, and the estimated total contract value is not disclosed in any of the attached files. The procurement seems designed as a straightforward, competitive bidding process for a one-time uniform supply contract for the Fairfield Police Department. Vendors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing and meet the detailed uniform specifications outlined in the referenced specification document. The lack of specific budget ranges or award values suggests that the Town is seeking competitive pricing and will evaluate bids based on overall value, compliance with specifications, and vendor qualifications.
