MILO Mobile Situational Awareness Training Systems (M-SATS)

The State of Oregon, through the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, is seeking to procure up to eight MILO Mobile Situational Awareness Training Simulator (M-SATS) systems for law enforcement, corrections, and parole/probation agencies across four regional training zones. The procurement is structured as a five-year price agreement with potential extension for up to ten years. The M-SATS systems must include comprehensive components such as a tablet computer, projector, projection screen, hit detection box, audio system, transport case, and pre-loaded training scenarios focused on scenario-based judgment and use-of-force tactical decision training. The initial purchase will consist of two units to be delivered by June 30, 2023, with subsequent units to be acquired in future fiscal periods based on budget availability. The invitation to bid (ITB) requires vendors to provide pricing for the base system, optional on-site training, and extended warranty coverage. Bids must be submitted by January 19, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, and will be evaluated based on responsiveness and the lowest bid. The evaluation criteria will focus on the bidder's ability to meet the technical specifications, provide comprehensive training systems, and demonstrate capability to fulfill the contract requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The ITB does not reference any incumbent vendors or current contractors for these training systems. The anticipated budget for the initial purchase will be subject to the agency's current fiscal year funding, with an initial order of two units and potential for up to eight total units over subsequent fiscal periods. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the procurement is structured to allow flexible purchasing based on available funding. The contract will require the selected vendor to provide delivery, setup, warranty, and training for the M-SATS systems. The vendor must also comply with various state regulations, including provisions related to taxes, employment practices, and potential conflicts of interest. The procurement is primarily focused on Marion County and the City of Salem, but the systems will be deployed across multiple regional training zones in Oregon to support law enforcement training initiatives.
