Patrol Vehicle Equipment

The State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting competitive bids through a Request for Bid (RFB) to establish a contract for patrol vehicle equipment procurement. The contract will cover equipment and components intended for installation in various patrol vehicles, including pickup trucks, SUVs, sedans, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, and boats of different sizes. This procurement is specifically focused on equipment acquisition, with an explicit exclusion of installation services. The RFB was posted on April 28, 2025, with bid submissions due by May 13, 2025, providing approximately two weeks for interested vendors to prepare and submit their proposals. Qualified bidders must carefully review the primary procurement document and all associated attachments to ensure comprehensive understanding of the requirements. The DNR is seeking equipment that meets specific technical specifications and can be integrated into their diverse fleet of patrol vehicles.

The procurement appears to be open to a broad range of qualified vendors without explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. While specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed, the wide variety of vehicle types suggests a potentially significant contract scope. The equipment procurement spans multiple vehicle categories, indicating a comprehensive approach to outfitting the DNR's patrol fleet. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to provide equipment compatible with various vehicle types and meet the DNR's operational requirements. The contract's focus on equipment-only procurement suggests that the DNR will manage installation through separate processes or internal resources.
