Metal Theft Related Crimes Evidence Pick Up and Storage Services

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing visual evidence collection, documentation, and storage services for the Department's Major Crimes Bureau Metal Theft Detail. This is explicitly a Request for Information only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or binding procurement opportunity. The RFI seeks to gauge market capabilities and vendor interest regarding evidence-related services specific to metal theft-related crimes investigations, with the goal of identifying qualified providers prior to any potential future formal procurement action. Interested vendors should note that the complete RFI packet is available on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department website at https://lasd.org/transparency/solicitations/. The RFI deadline is May 29, 2026, with a posting date of April 29, 2026. However, this RFI does not establish binding requirements, pricing structures, contract terms, award timelines, response deadlines, site visits, or bidders' conferences at this preliminary stage.

The RFI documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. No existing contractor infrastructure or technology integration requirements have been detailed in the available materials. Similarly, no contract award date, contract term length, renewal options, or funding amounts have been specified, as this represents preliminary market research rather than an active solicitation. Vendors responding to this RFI should understand that participation does not guarantee selection for any future formal procurement process. Interested parties are directed to refer to the complete RFI documentation on the Sheriff's Department website for any additional details, requirements, or updates regarding this market research initiative.
