About this opportunity
The North Carolina Sheriffs' Association (NCSA) is conducting a comprehensive First Responder Supplies and Equipment Procurement Program for the 2025-2026 contract period through Bid Number 26-03-0521. The procurement opportunity covers an extensive range of first responder equipment across 51 distinct product groups, including adapters, ammunition, ballistic shields, breathing air equipment, communications devices, firearms, medical supplies, personal protective equipment, tactical robots, thermal imagers, uniforms, and specialized emergency response gear. Vendors must register through VendorLink and be listed as a Planholder, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for February 27, 2025, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm EST. The bid period will open on April 22, 2025, and close at 12:00 noon EST on May 21, 2025, with contract awards anticipated on June 18, 2025. Participating vendors must provide a minimum 6% catalog discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), include a 0.0075 commission fee in base pricing, and submit comprehensive documentation including manufacturer certifications, five government references, and detailed product specifications.
The procurement is open to all units of local governments and political subdivisions inside and outside North Carolina, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly mentioned. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Comprehensive General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and Automobile Liability, with a Best's guide rating of B+:VI or better. While specific contract values are not definitively stated, the bid package encompasses 403 line items across multiple product categories, suggesting a potentially significant procurement opportunity. The NCSA reserves the right to award contracts to multiple responsive and responsible bidders, with each vendor subject to a mandatory vetting process. Vendors cannot withdraw bids for 60 calendar days after the posting date, and the NCSA Contract Administrator retains the right to reject any bid not considered competitive or to make awards as individual items or total combined bids.
