Bid for Uniforms

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office (CPSO) in Louisiana is seeking bids for a comprehensive uniform procurement contract (Bid #2026-6) covering a wide range of uniform and accessory items. The solicitation includes detailed requirements for motor uniforms, bailiff uniforms, tax uniforms, outerwear, and various accessories such as patches, collar brass, badges, and caps. Bids are due on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Central Standard Time, with expected delivery of 7-10 days for non-monogrammed items and up to 25 days for monogrammed or patched items. The initial contract will be valid for 12 months, with potential renewal options for up to four additional 12-month periods, not exceeding a total of 60 months. Evaluation criteria will focus on product price, specifications, product support, performance characteristics, and overall suitability. The sheriff's office reserves the right to reject any bids and gives preference to specific listed items while allowing for equivalent products. Pricing will be itemized per product and size range, with separate pricing for smaller and larger sizes.

The bid demonstrates a strong preference for local businesses, particularly vendors with representatives physically located in Calcasieu Parish who can provide in-person customer service. Invoicing will follow a NET 30 payment schedule with no prepayment allowed, and vendors must include freight costs in their bid pricing. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes local business participation. The contract appears to be open to various uniform suppliers capable of meeting the detailed specifications and performance requirements. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the uniform procurement suggests a potentially significant contract value that covers multiple uniform categories and accessory types. The procurement process indicates a thorough approach to selecting a uniform supplier that can meet the specific operational needs of the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office across different departmental roles and requirements.
