About this opportunity
AI summaryThe City of Lubbock seeks proposals for armored car services covering the receipt of sealed or locked shipments containing currency, coins, checks, securities, and other valuables. The resulting contract term runs for one year, and eligibility requires onshore United States organizations only. Offerors must submit proposals electronically through the Bonfire portal or deliver one original hard copy to the Purchasing and Contract Management Department before 3:00 P.M. on December 3, 2026. Hard-copy submissions require an envelope marked with the solicitation number, title, and due date, along with an authorized manual signature. An evaluation committee will review and numerically score proposals based on established criteria rather than lowest price alone. The City will select the responsible offeror whose proposal proves most advantageous regarding service needs, quality levels, and budget.
