Pre-Advertisement Notice for Police Pursuit Motorcycles

The City of Atlanta's Department of Public Works is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of fully equipped Police Pursuit Motorcycles, a brand-specific solicitation requiring Harley-Davidson Police models to maintain standardization with the City's existing fleet. The selected vendor must deliver fully assembled, properly upfitted, and operational motorcycles in accordance with detailed specifications provided by the City, with all deliverables ready for immediate deployment. Beyond the initial delivery of equipment, the successful vendor is expected to assume comprehensive responsibility for providing reliable repair services, OEM-quality parts, extensive warranty coverage, and mandatory operator training to ensure proper fleet operation and maintenance throughout the contract term. Key evaluation criteria include the vendor's demonstrated capability to meet all commodity specifications, provide timely and reliable support services, maintain adequate parts inventory, and deliver comprehensive training programs. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be held to provide additional information and address bidder questions, though the specific date and location have not been detailed in the available materials. The pre-advertisement notice was posted on February 9, 2026, with a deadline of February 27, 2026, and a formal IFB solicitation is expected to follow with additional timeline details for proposal submission.

The available documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions based on organization type, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or preferences for minority-owned or women-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the pre-advertisement materials, though the City's standardization to Harley-Davidson Police models suggests an established relationship with that manufacturer and potentially authorized dealers. The integration requirement centers on compatibility with the City's existing Harley-Davidson Police motorcycle fleet to maintain operational and maintenance consistency across the department. Specific budget ranges, procurement quantities, or award values are not detailed in the pre-advertisement notice or the accompanying Scope of Work document, with these details expected to be included in the formal IFB solicitation that will follow the pre-solicitation conference.
