Law enforcement equipment and supplies

Miami-Dade County Strategic Procurement Department is accepting submissions to establish a prequalified vendor pool for law enforcement equipment and supplies under RTQ-02181, with submissions due August 24, 2026. Placement in the pool is not a contract but rather vendor qualification acknowledgment; the County will use the pool to solicit specific goods, pricing, and terms through future Invitation to Quote or other spot-market competitions.

The scope encompasses ammunition, firearms, rifles, restraints (leg irons, handcuffs, waist chains), robotics, batons, and law enforcement protection equipment. No pricing is requested at the prequalification stage.

Vendors must meet three primary qualification criteria: provide two professional references demonstrating five years of experience supplying law enforcement equipment and supplies; submit documentation proving manufacturer or authorized distributor/reseller status; and designate a representative available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for County communications. Submissions are accepted throughout the RTQ term and must be made electronically through BidSync and include completed affidavits addressing non-collusion, human trafficking, foreign entities of concern, and contractor due diligence. Local business certification affidavits are required if applicable.

The prequalified pool term is 60 months commencing on the first calendar day of the month following Board of County Commissioners approval. Insurance is not mandated for pool membership but may be required in subsequent spot-market competitions. The County reserves the right to add or remove vendors from the pool at its discretion. Federally funded projects resulting from this pool will have certain Miami-Dade County General Terms and Conditions exempted, including prompt payment terms, local preference, and small business enterprise measures.
