Forensic Light Source Kits

Wake County’s Bureau of Forensic Services is seeking qualified vendors to supply high-intensity dual-wavelength forensic light source kits fully compatible with the Crime-Lite AUTO 2 forensic imaging platform, aiming to modernize and expand its evidence examination capabilities. The initiative is supported by the Federal Coverdell Grants Program and is driven by the need to replace aging equipment with declining performance and limited spectral range, which currently hampers the detection of diverse forensic evidence types at both crime scenes and in the laboratory. The solicitation, identified by number 26-076 and posted on August 6, 2026, requires bids to be submitted by August 20, 2026, and is open to entities capable of delivering systems that meet strict technical compatibility and performance standards. The contract is administered by the County of Wake in North Carolina, with all performance occurring within the state. Interested parties must complete and submit the Execution of Bid form, which includes mandatory details such as company name, address, federal tax ID, authorized signature, and contact information, to formally authorize their bid submission. The procurement is intended to ensure the forensic laboratory can maintain current best practices in evidentiary detection and uphold the integrity of investigative outcomes.
