FY22 MPD - Police Motorcycle Helmets

The District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is seeking to procure police motorcycle helmets through a competitive solicitation identified by contract opportunity ID 66c8560a829eb5d86906f488. This procurement is specifically for Fiscal Year 2022 and focuses on acquiring specialized protective equipment for motorcycle-based law enforcement personnel. The procurement appears to target the replacement or supplementation of current motorcycle helmet inventory for MPD officers. The solicitation was initially posted on March 2, 2022, with a relatively short response window, closing on March 7, 2022 – indicating an expedited procurement process. While specific technical requirements are not detailed in the provided information, the contract likely requires vendors to meet stringent safety standards and specifications appropriate for law enforcement motorcycle operations, potentially including impact resistance, visibility features, communication integration, and durability requirements.

Given the limited information provided, potential set-aside designations or vendor restrictions cannot be definitively confirmed. The procurement appears to be a standard municipal equipment acquisition without explicit indications of small business, minority-owned, or disadvantaged enterprise preferences. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the current contract opportunity details. Prospective vendors would need to obtain the full solicitation documents from the District of Columbia's procurement office to understand complete qualification requirements, technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and potential contract value. Interested suppliers should carefully review the full request for proposals to ensure compliance with all District of Columbia procurement regulations and motorcycle helmet technical standards.
