CHP Breast Badge

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is seeking to procure breast badges through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the replacement of damaged, lost, or stolen badges, as well as for new ranks and promotions. The CHP is requesting bids for 100 badges in Year 1 (September 17, 2024 - June 30, 2025) and 35 badges in Year 2 (July 1, 2025 - December 17, 2025). The badges must comply with the detailed technical specifications outlined in the CHP's Bid Specification #8455-6037, including specific design elements, materials, manufacturing, and inspection requirements. The CHP reserves the right to increase or decrease the badge quantities up to 20% at the awarded bid price for up to 15 months from the award of the purchase order. The CHP may also require the successful bidder to provide a sample badge for technical compliance evaluation prior to full delivery.

This RFQ has been set aside for California Department of General Services (DGS) certified small businesses, micro-small businesses, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs). Bidders claiming preferences must comply with the applicable regulations and provide the required certifications. The CHP may apply a DVBE Incentive, which allows responsive and responsible contractors the opportunity to receive additional incentive calculations when subcontracting with a certified DVBE. The contract will be awarded on an "All or None" basis, and the CHP will not consider any responses that reference the bidder's own terms and conditions. The CHP has not provided details on the incumbent vendor or the anticipated contract value.
