The State of North Carolina Department of Public Safety is seeking bids for USAR Shoring Equipment through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The requested items are brand-specific Paratech and Hoists Direct branded rescue equipment and accessories, including a range of items from 1 to 16 per lot across four lots. This procurement is due to the need for interoperability with existing equipment and personnel training.

Vendors must be authorized resellers of the specified products and provide product warranties.

The IFB encourages HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation and requires references. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, and the State reserves the right to make multiple awards or cancel the IFB. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the IFB does not provide a specific budget range. Payment terms and other administrative details are also outlined in the IFB.
