Vendors must demonstrate capability to provide both routine and emergency response services, including on-call availability and typical response times, and provide references from public safety entities with points of contact.

This is an RFI only and does not constitute a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. Responses are submitted electronically through the BPRO Electronic Procurement System and Bonfire Hub portal. The Director of Purchasing retains sole authority to determine what qualifies as comparable service and to make the final sole-source designation; no provision exists for objection, protest, or appeal of that decision.
