Purchase and Repair of Police and Fire Badges

The City of Cincinnati is seeking vendors to supply, replace, and repair police and fire department identification badges. The solicitation is a closed procurement with a submission deadline of November 5 2025. Bidders must complete extensive Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) documentation, including DEI‑147 forms, and submit all required paperwork as a single PDF through the VSS online portal. The contract will likely involve manufacturing or refurbishing metal/plastic badges, managing inventory, and providing ongoing repair services as needed. • Must provide detailed EEO/DEI data and adhere to City ordinance‑based inclusion requirements. • All bid forms, including the DEI‑147, must be uploaded as one PDF; missing forms result in a non‑responsive bid. • Submission is electronic via the VSS portal; vendors must be the primary/master VSS user for their account. • No budget ceiling or performance period is disclosed in the available documents, so bidders should be prepared to price based on quantity, material, and labor. • The solicitation is closed, meaning only pre‑qualified vendors (presumably those on a city‑approved list) may submit.
