Volition Components - Port of Entry

Colorado State Patrol Port of Entry Section is procuring vehicle uplift services from Volition Components under a sole-source procurement, with a contract period from July 15, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and a proposal due date of July 8, 2026. This is a sole-source justification approved by the Purchasing Director on June 24, 2026.

The scope covers specialized installation services on three 2026 Ford Transit 350 vans, including electrical work, custom cabinetry, mobile work stations, window tinting to Air 80 specifications, custom scale storage racks, safety equipment, overhead lighting, and roof venting. The sole-source rationale centers on Volition Components' unique capability to install components prior to vehicle wall installation, which substantially reduces costs and timelines compared to competitors who would need to remove walls post-installation. The vendor is already established as a state vendor under an existing Purchase Order with the Colorado Department of Public Safety Fleet section and operates as an authorized Ford dealership installer.

The estimated total project cost is $159,376.95, comprised of $95,626.17 in goods and $63,750.78 in services. Performance specifications and pricing are documented in attached quotes and the existing Fleet PO. The Colorado State Patrol Port of Entry previously purchased a similar set of three vans in early FY26 through the same vendor, establishing precedent for this procurement method. Installation must comply with Ford warranty requirements and Ford dealership standards to avoid vehicle integrity damage and additional expense from post-installation modifications.

Performance location is Denver County and Denver City, Colorado.
