The District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is seeking procurement for metal badges, cap plates, and name tags for fiscal year 2023. This contract opportunity, identified by the state contract ID 66c85587cac5fc795d0f5b7b, was posted on September 21, 2022, with a submission deadline of September 26, 2022. The procurement appears to be focused on supplying essential uniform and identification accessories for law enforcement personnel. The goods will likely need to meet specific design, durability, and quality standards typical of professional police equipment. Potential vendors must carefully review the detailed specifications and ensure their proposed products precisely match the MPD's requirements for metal fabrication, engraving, and finishing of official police badges and name tags.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, government contracts typically provide opportunities for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, and local District of Columbia vendors. The contract likely represents a moderate-value procurement aimed at refreshing or replacing existing police department identification equipment. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, quality control processes, and the ability to deliver precise, professional-grade law enforcement badges and name tags. Given the specialized nature of police equipment, vendors will need to have experience in producing high-quality, tamper-resistant metal identification items that meet strict governmental standards. The exact budget range is not specified, but similar municipal police equipment contracts typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on the quantity and complexity of the items.
