Forensic Light Source Kits

Wake County's Bureau of Forensic Services is requesting bids for high-intensity dual-wavelength forensic light source kits compatible with the Crime-Lite AUTO 2 forensic imaging platform, with bids due August 20, 2026. The procurement is funded through the Federal Coverdell Grants Program.

The scope centers on equipment to replace outdated forensic light source units with declining performance and limited wavelength functionality. The new kits must integrate fully with the existing Crime-Lite AUTO 2 imaging infrastructure and expand the laboratory's ability to detect a comprehensive range of evidence types for crime scene and laboratory evidence examination.

The RFB establishes standard procedural requirements for bid submission, evaluation, and contract award. Bidders must comply with all applicable state and local regulations, federal grant program requirements tied to Coverdell funding, and Wake County's procurement policies. The general terms and conditions address submission deadlines, documentation requirements, pricing and payment terms, insurance, performance standards, bid protest procedures, and contract administration.

No estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor, or specific evaluation criteria weightings are identified in the available solicitation materials. The bid execution form requires authorized representatives to provide company legal name, Federal Tax ID, complete address, contact information, and reference the specific RFB number with submission date.
