About this opportunity

The City of Sun Prairie, located in Dane County, Wisconsin, is procuring sixty sets of ballistic protective plates for its police officers through Request for Bid (RFB) 23-PD31. The procurement seeks Level IV or Special (Rifle) ballistic plates designed to be worn with external vests in conjunction with soft body armor, capable of stopping M193 (5.56) and M80 (7.62) rounds. The plates must feature composite construction with a multi-curve configuration, available in two sizes: 8"x10" (not exceeding 2.5 lbs per plate) and 10"x12" (not exceeding 3.6 lbs per plate), with a minimum five-year warranty. While the Paraclete Omega Plus Hard Armor Plate is the preferred option, equivalent specifications will be considered. Bids were originally due on August 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with a public bid opening immediately following, and a contract delivery date set for November 1, 2023. However, a subsequent Bid Update Letter dated August 23, 2023, indicates that all initial bids were rejected, and a revised solicitation will be posted to refine the specifications.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bid opening log revealed seventeen companies submitted bids, with prices ranging from $161.00 to $860.00 per plate set, demonstrating significant market competition. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly identified, the solicitation suggests openness to multiple vendors meeting the technical specifications. The total procurement value would be approximately $9,660 to $51,600, depending on the selected vendor and plate configuration. Successful bidders must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Worker's Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Umbrella Liability of $5,000,000. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will make the final award determination based on compliance with technical specifications and overall bid evaluation.
