Officer and Sworn Officer Uniforms, Equipment Supplies

The Metropolitan Transit Police Department in St. Paul, Minnesota is seeking a vendor to provide officer and sworn officer uniforms and equipment supplies. The agency needs to maintain a uniform and professional appearance for all employees while protecting them from weather elements, increasing comfort, and enhancing serviceability for day-to-day duties. To address evolving law enforcement duties and utilize improved clothing technologies, the agency requires apparel that increases effectiveness, improves comfort, and prevents damage or injury to the wearer. The requested scope of work covers the delivery of one Class B1 Duty Uniform, which must include one pair of pants, one long-sleeve shirt, and one short-sleeve shirt. The agency also requires one Patrol Duty Uniform jacket with a liner. Specific color standards mandate black for all long-sleeve and short-sleeve undershirts, socks, duty gloves, and boots or footwear. The agency requires midnight blue, also known as LAPD navy, for the primary uniform color, and gold-plated metallic finishes for name plates, awards, rank insignia, badges, tie clips, and belt buckles for sworn personnel. Bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States, as the agency limits eligibility to onshore vendors. The contract period will span one year. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this procurement. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on May 26, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than May 29, 2026.
