JPMC Police Supplies

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for the procurement of Police Supplies. The purpose of the contract is to enable governmental units with a law enforcement component, such as state and local agencies, to purchase a wide range of police-related equipment and supplies, including clothing, gloves, first aid items, cameras, lighting, and other safety and security goods. The contract term is for an initial six (6) years, with the total term not to exceed ten (10) years. Vendors are required to submit bids through the BidBuy online procurement system by August 13, 2024. A pre-bid conference will be held on July 30, 2024 to provide an overview of the solicitation requirements. The State intends to award a single contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, but reserves the right to award by line item.

This contract opportunity is open to all registered vendors in the Illinois Procurement Gateway, with no set-aside designations mentioned. The solicitation has a 2% Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities (BEP) utilization goal, but no Veteran Small Business (VSBP) goal. The State has provided a Certified Directory of 24 approved vendors eligible to participate in the JPMC Police Supplies contract, which is active from April 10, 2024 to April 10, 2030. No specific budget range or award value is provided, but the contract is expected to allow multiple vendors to supply a diverse range of police and public safety products and services to Illinois government agencies and jurisdictions.
