CSP Peace Officer Handbooks

The Colorado Department of Public Safety issued a Documented Quote (DQ) solicitation for the procurement of CSP Peace Officer Handbooks, representing a goods acquisition opportunity affecting Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions within Colorado. The procurement calls for 1,105 units of the Colorado Peace Officers Handbook 2019-2020 Edition, which must include both CD and E-Book components as deliverables. All items must be new and shipped FOB Destination to 15055 S. Golden Road, Golden, CO 80401, with delivery required to multiple Colorado State Patrol locations including Golden, Colorado Springs, Greeley, Fruita, and Alamosa, with all deliveries occurring Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM MST, excluding holidays. The quote submission deadline was September 14, 2017 at 2:00 PM MST, with submissions accepted via email only to cdps_edo_bids@state.co.us. The resulting purchase order award would be effective July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020, contingent upon funds appropriation and budget availability, with products ordered on an as-needed basis. Award determination will be based on the most advantageous response to the state, with price serving as the primary evaluation criterion. Responsive bids must include a completed and signed cover page, Exhibit A Bid Schedule with pricing, and a current W-9 form, and bidders must be registered with Colorado's Vendor Self Service System (VSS) at the time of bid closing.

Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) certified through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Veteran Enterprise will receive a 5% preference in evaluation, and the state seeks to achieve at least 3% of total contract dollar value with SDVOSB vendors. Colorado offers reciprocal preference to resident bidders and encourages the submission of environmentally preferable products. No specific incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements were identified in the solicitation. The solicitation does not explicitly state a contract value or budget range; however, the procurement of 1,105 handbooks with supplementary CD and E-Book materials over a two-year award period suggests a moderate to substantial contract value. Pricing submitted by bidders shall be binding and valid for the length of the entire award period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.
