RFQ F27 CLT09 BDU Name Plate & Gold Name Bar

The Massachusetts Department of State Police is requesting quotes on BDU name plates and gold name bars under RFQ F27 CLT09, with quotes due July 28, 2026.

The scope comprises 23 personalized BDU name plates (quantities ranging from 3 to 6 units per individual), 72 generic BDU name plates, and 9 gold name bars with Blackinton branding. The itemized requirements are specified in the attached materials list.

A critical supply-chain requirement filters vendor eligibility: the Department will no longer accept drop shipments directly from manufacturer Blackinton. For any Blackinton-manufactured products, the awarded vendor must coordinate shipment between manufacturer and vendor, with delivery made directly to MSP Supply. When manufacturer and model specifications are included in the bid, no alternative products will be accepted.

The Department reserves the right to award on a whole-bid or individual-item basis, whichever provides best value. Awards may be made to quotes demonstrating best overall value, including proposed alternatives that achieve procurement goals. No late bids will be accepted. The Department and selected bidders may negotiate changes to contract performance or cost elements to achieve lower costs or better value than originally proposed.
