Law Enforcement Vehicle Upfitting Services

Greenville County, South Carolina is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive law enforcement vehicle upfitting services for approximately 110 vehicles annually. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) targets vendors capable of installing specialized equipment on various vehicle models including Dodge Charger, Dodge Durango, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford F-350, and Ford F-450. Required upfitting services encompass installation of light bars, controllers, sirens, push bumpers, camera systems, radios, vehicle cages, mobile data terminal stands, and other law enforcement-specific equipment. The proposal was issued on November 22, 2023, with submissions due by December 12, 2023, at 3:00 pm. Vendors must submit a Statement of Qualifications demonstrating experience in law enforcement vehicle modifications, including staff resumes and project completion capabilities. The evaluation will be based on five equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to the RFQ, project experience, references, law enforcement vehicle upfitting expertise, and project timeline. The county anticipates reviewing proposals from December 12-22, 2023, with a tentative award date of December 22, 2023, and contract negotiations scheduled from December 22, 2023, to January 4, 2024.

The procurement appears open to multiple vendors, with the county reserving the right to award contracts to several qualified providers. Vendors must comply with the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act and provide comprehensive insurance documentation, including certificates of general liability insurance. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, vendors will need to demonstrate substantial experience in law enforcement vehicle modifications and maintain the capability to handle a high-volume annual upfitting program. The county will not require initial pricing submissions, with cost negotiations to occur after an Intent to Award is issued. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scale of approximately 110 vehicles per year suggests a significant contract value. Vendors must be prepared to integrate with existing law enforcement vehicle infrastructure and meet stringent technical and regulatory requirements. Successful contractors will need to show proven capability in customizing and equipping law enforcement vehicles to precise specifications while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
