Intent to Single Source for WRAP Restraining System W/Helmet

The Tampa Police Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for 11 WRAP safety restraining systems with helmets, targeting enhanced officer safety during detention of aggressive individuals. This Intent to Single Source (ISS) opportunity is specific to Hillsborough County, Florida, with a posting and due date of July 16, 2025. The procurement requires a vendor who is an authorized manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing not only the restraint systems but also comprehensive repair support warranties and training. Critical vendor qualifications include the ability to furnish documentation proving authorization to sell and service the WRAP Restraint Systems. The solicitation mandates that potential vendors confirm their capability to provide the requested goods and services and upload vendor authorization documentation. Vendors must demonstrate they can meet the specific requirements of supplying the safety equipment, including maintenance, repairs, and comprehensive training support for the Tampa Police Department.

While the document does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, it emphasizes the need for an authorized manufacturer's distributor with comprehensive service capabilities. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation, and specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed. The procurement appears focused on a targeted, specialized acquisition of safety equipment with an emphasis on vendor qualifications and service capabilities rather than broad competitive bidding. The single-source nature of the procurement suggests a specific technological or procedural requirement that limits competitive participation. The solicitation implies a focused approach to equipping law enforcement with specialized restraint systems, prioritizing safety, technical support, and vendor authorization over price competition.
