The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of providing LED emergency lightbars and related vehicle warning accessories, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the available documentation. While the document does not explicitly detail disadvantaged enterprise participation or incumbent vendor information, it provides a clear mechanism for vendor participation through the cooperative purchasing program. The procurement allows the State of Montana to potentially leverage a multi-state contract for these specialized emergency vehicle components. Specific budget ranges or award values were not disclosed in the provided documentation. The cooperative nature of the solicitation suggests potential cost efficiencies through aggregated purchasing power across multiple state jurisdictions, which could benefit participating agencies like Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Enforcement Division.
