The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is issuing a competitive solicitation pursuant to RCW 39.26 to award an Agency Contract for the purchase of one acoustic hailing device. The solicitation specifies detailed performance requirements for the device, including specifications for acoustic output, usable range, weight, vehicle mounting system, operating temperatures, and durability ratings. Bidders must respond to each requirement, indicating whether they can meet it. The solicitation has a due date of August 12, 2024, and includes instructions for submitting questions, bids, and protests. The procurement evaluation process will determine the responsible and responsive bidder.

The solicitation encourages and supports participation by small and diverse businesses, including minority-owned, woman-owned, veteran-owned, and Washington small businesses, as contractors and subcontractors.
