The bid opening and submission deadline is October 16, 2025, with two amendments issued to clarify specification requirements: Amendment #1 correcting a duplicate listing error for handheld control units (reducing the quantity to two units of item 2-WHE-CCTL5), and Amendment #2 revising a lighting component specification to reflect a 6-lamp configuration (22-TCRWX6-Smoked Lenses Duo Tracer BW) rather than the originally specified 5-lamp version. Qualified vendors must demonstrate capability to supply vehicles and equipment that conform to all specified requirements, including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards and any specialized aftermarket equipment packages required by the Sheriff's Office.
