302-25-014528

The Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered 302-25-014528 for law enforcement equipment and accessories, specifically targeting Safariland brand duty gear and holsters. The procurement covers a range of equipment including plain black Velcro belts in sizes small to XL, lined duty belts with chrome or brass buckles ranging from 32 to 48 inches, right and left-handed holsters for Glock 17 and 22 models, tapered cuff cases, and double magazine pouches. The solicitation spans multiple jurisdictions including Travis County and various Austin City locations, with quantities ranging from 1 to 91 units per line item. The bid response deadline is set for April 18, 2025, at 11:00 AM CT, with electronic submissions required to Scott.rickstrew@oag.texas.gov. Vendors must provide pricing that includes delivery to a warehouse location in Austin, Texas, and comply with state procurement regulations, which may include preferences for Texas-produced products.

The contract opportunity appears to have several important compliance requirements for potential vendors, including mandatory certifications related to equal employment opportunity, cybersecurity training, and anti-boycott provisions. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the solicitation suggests a focus on state-based vendors and those capable of meeting stringent government procurement standards. The contract will terminate 30 calendar days after the final delivery deadline, indicating a relatively short-term procurement cycle. Although a specific award value is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the equipment procurement suggests a moderate-scale contract. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical capability to provide precise law enforcement equipment specifications, with a particular emphasis on Safariland brand products and exact model compatibility for holsters and duty gear.
