Police Uniforms

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement is seeking qualified vendors to supply police uniforms and gear to the Detroit Police Department under Solicitation Number 549771, with a two-year performance period. The solicitation, posted on July 15, 2026, and due August 5, 2026, requires respondents to provide detailed technical and commercial proposals through the BonfireHub portal, including completion of the Respondent Questionnaire and submission of mandatory affidavits such as Non-Collusion, Disclosure of Interests, and Certificate of Authority, along with three years of financial statements and Treasury Clearance. The contract will be awarded on a lowest equalized bid basis, with bids required to be within 12% or $100,000 of the lowest responsive bid to remain eligible. While quantities for items like short sleeve and long sleeve shirts, trousers, patches, and insignias are listed, all unit and extended prices are currently $0, indicating the pricing section remains unpopulated and subject to vendor submissions. Performance locations and delivery terms are not fixed but must be specified by the respondent in alignment with Exhibit A, the Scope of Services, which also details expected deliverables and timelines upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The contract mandates strict compliance with federal and local regulations, including adherence to the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment for contracts exceeding $100,000, prohibition on using equipment or services from designated foreign entities such as Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, and Dahua under Public Law 115-232, and preference for U.S.-produced materials including steel, aluminum, and lumber. Contractors must ensure no principals or affiliates are suspended or debarred under 2 CFR Part 180 and must utilize EPA-designated recovered materials unless exceptions apply. Data security requirements reference ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2, while political contributions must be disclosed via Exhibit C. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through Oracle Cloud’s City Vendor Portal, with remittance details required to avoid rejection, though specific payment office details and accounting codes are not provided. The City of Detroit prioritizes local socioeconomic participation through its own classifications—Detroit Based Business, Small Business, Micro Business, and Resident Business—with qualifying vendors eligible for equalization credits based on CRIO certification. Inspections may occur at the vendor’s Detroit-area facility or work site, with deficiencies required to be corrected within ten
