IFB 155-002 Repeaters

The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 155-002 for procuring 25 units of 2-watt VHF Repeaters specifically designed for law enforcement undercover surveillance operations. The procurement spans multiple jurisdictions, including Sacramento County and San Diego City, with bids due on February 12, 2016, at 15:00:00 PST. Vendors must submit bids in US Dollars, with delivery of the repeaters required by February 17, 2016, to ABC Headquarters located at 3927 Lennane Drive, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95834. The solicitation utilizes PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing for bid management and requires standard bidder information forms that include company details, contact information, and necessary signatures. While the bid includes a pricing question, submission is not mandatory, and the document does not outline specific evaluation criteria beyond the standard bidding documentation.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific restrictions on bidding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with the proposed VHF repeaters. Similarly, the document does not specify a precise budget range or potential award value for the 25 repeater units. The procurement appears to be a straightforward acquisition of communication equipment for law enforcement surveillance purposes, with standard procurement protocols being followed through the California state procurement system. Potential vendors should carefully review the complete IFB documentation to ensure full compliance with all submission requirements and technical specifications for the VHF repeater units.
