Mission ready rolling duffel

Westchester County is seeking procurement of Mission Ready 3.0 Rolling Duffel bags through a competitive solicitation process with a proposal submission deadline of October 2, 2024. The procurement focuses on acquiring tactical rolling duffel bags with specific technical requirements, including water-resistant 1050D and 1680D ballistic nylon construction, dimensions of 13.0"H x 28.75"L x 15.875"D, and a 90-liter capacity. The product specifications mandate advanced features such as four external zippered pockets, clear vinyl document storage, retractable handles, self-retracting grab handles, internal fiberglass rods, an impact-resistant bottom base panel, and lockable YKK zippers. Vendors must provide a rolling duffel bag capable of withstanding heavy-duty tactical use, with wheels supporting up to 150 pounds and modular design elements including removable webbing straps and optional roll-away dividers. The solicitation follows standard Westchester County Bureau of Purchase and Supplies procurement guidelines, which emphasize fair bidding practices and comprehensive compliance with local government purchasing regulations.

The contract opportunity appears to encourage participation from diverse vendors, with specific provisions for minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation. While specific set-aside percentages are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the county's procurement instructions suggest a preference for inclusive bidding processes. The solicitation requires electronic funds transfer for vendor payments and mandates that all quotes be for new equipment. Though precise budget ranges are not specified, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the Mission Ready 3.0 Rolling Duffel suggest a potential significant procurement value. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with lead-free certification standards and meet all specified technical requirements. The county reserves the right to reject bids or cancel orders for non-compliance, and maintains flexibility to "no award" the request for quotation if more advantageous pricing can be obtained through alternative procurement methods.
