The NVP public-safety communications equipment contract, led by the state of Washington, is preparing to rebid the nationwide public-safety communications equipment cooperative contract. A team of procurement and technical experts from multiple states serve on the sourcing team and assist with bid development and evaluation. Their participation continues for the entire term of the contract. Members of the sourcing team represent Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Alaska, Utah, Nevada, Georgia and Tennessee.

 

To ensure interoperability and compatibility, all products offered on the upcoming rebid contract must meet the Project 25 (P25) Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) requirements. Awarded manufacturers may add products in the categories and subcategories they were previously awarded as long as they meet the following conditions:
• Must be in the category/subcategory awarded;
• Must be P25 CAP tested, certified and listed on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website; and
• Must adhere to the percentage off-list discount submitted with their bid.

 

 

The team will initiate the rebid process in July 2018 with the release of a request for information (RFI). To receive notification of the opportunity, companies must be registered in Washington’s Electronic Business Solution (WEBS)
