Weapons Detection Solutions

Brown County, Wisconsin is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for weapons detection solutions targeted at educational institutions. This procurement seeks comprehensive technological solutions designed to enhance school safety through advanced weapons detection systems. The RFI aims to identify innovative technologies and approaches that can effectively screen for potential weapon threats within school environments while minimizing disruption to daily educational operations. Key objectives include implementing non-invasive detection methods that can quickly and accurately identify potential security risks without creating barriers to student movement or learning experiences. The solicitation was posted on October 21, 2025, with responses due by November 11, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their detailed information packages. Interested vendors must carefully review all requirements and prepare comprehensive responses that demonstrate their technological capabilities, integration potential, and alignment with school safety protocols.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, standard state procurement practices typically encourage participation from small, minority-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The RFI suggests a potential multi-year contract for weapons detection technology, though specific budget ranges are not currently disclosed. Vendors should anticipate potential integration requirements with existing school security infrastructure and be prepared to demonstrate compatibility with current safety systems. The procurement appears focused on identifying cutting-edge technological solutions that can be deployed across multiple educational facilities within Brown County, indicating a potential scalable implementation strategy. Respondents should be prepared to provide detailed technical specifications, proof of concept documentation, cost structures, and evidence of successful prior deployments in similar educational security environments.
