Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for the purchase of law enforcement duty gear for the Dallas Police Department. Duty gear is worn while officer is on active duty and is essential to the job function to ensure the safety of the officer and the public. This master agreement will provide for law enforcement equipment for the Police Department. Law enforcement equipment is used essentially to protect the officers and provide public safety. This master agreement will include equipment such as:
• Gun belts
• Standard and tactical holsters
• Holders for badges, pepper spray, and handgun magazines
• Handcuffs
• Batons
• Flashlights, safety and traffic wands
• Carrying cases for weapons, computers, and sensitive equipment
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
