SCDPS TREMCO Anti-Theft System

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) is seeking a single source supplier for TREMCO Anti-Theft Systems to be installed on police package vehicles, with specific exclusions for Chevrolet Tahoes 2021 and newer models. The procurement aims to establish a supply contract for 181 anti-theft system units over a three-year period, with pricing to remain constant across different vehicle manufacturers, models, and configurations. Bidders must submit questions in writing by October 28, 2022, at 12:00 PM EST, with final offers due by November 7, 2022, at 10:00 AM EST through online bidding at www.procurement.sc.gov. The contract will be awarded based on lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation focused on unit pricing. The contract term is one year with two potential one-year renewals, effectively spanning from November 9, 2022, through November 8, 2025. All deliveries must occur within thirty days of purchase order receipt at the SC Highway Patrol Supply Vehicle Shop in Columbia, with pricing to include all delivery and shipping charges on an F.O.B. destination basis.

Vendors must be registered with the state prior to bid submission and can claim potential preferences including South Carolina resident vendor, South Carolina end-product, or United States end-product preferences if qualifying criteria are met. The procurement officer, Thomas DeLoach, can be contacted at 803-896-5457 or ThomasDeloach@scdps.gov for additional information. All proposed items must be new and meet specific outlined specifications. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation suggests an open competitive process. The estimated contract value can be approximated by multiplying the 181 unit quantity by the per-unit anti-theft system price, though the exact budget range is not specified in the documentation. Bidders must submit online bids with signed copies of the cover page and page two, ensuring comprehensive and compliant proposal preparation.
