HP- misc. Vehicle supplies & equipment

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for HP-Miscellaneous Vehicle Supplies and Equipment, specifically targeting vehicle-related equipment for law enforcement vehicles. The procurement seeks vendors to supply Gamber Johnson console kits for 2022+ Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Dodge Charger vehicles, along with Gamber Johnson Mongoose locking slide arms, Jotto Desk tire relocation brackets, and Magnetic Microphone Kits. The solicitation includes precise quantity requirements: 303 units of Ford console kits, 240 units of Dodge Charger console kits, 240 units of Mongoose slide arms, 240 units of tire relocation brackets, and 600 units of magnetic microphone kits, representing estimated quantities for a three-year contract period. The submission deadline is November 4, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. EST, with vendor questions due by October 26, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. EST. The contract will be effective from November 18, 2022, through November 19, 2025, consisting of an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewal periods, for a maximum contract duration of three years.

The procurement is open to vendors registered with the state of South Carolina and requires compliance with all applicable procurement regulations, ethics certifications, and debarment requirements. Pricing must be submitted on a unit price basis, with extended prices calculated by multiplying quantity by unit price, and all prices must be fixed, inclusive of delivery and shipping charges to the SCDPS receiving location in Columbia, South Carolina. Delivery is expected within 30 to 60 days of purchase order receipt, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by lot, with unit prices taking precedence over extended prices. Vendors may claim South Carolina or United States end-product preferences if applicable. While the state does not guarantee purchases of specific items or total amounts, it reserves the right to purchase up to the estimated quantities. No sales or use taxes should be included in pricing, and the procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract's estimated value is not explicitly stated, but the quantities and three-year duration suggest a significant procurement opportunity for vehicle equipment suppliers.
