The County of Middlesex is soliciting bids to furnish and deliver a comprehensive suite of uniforms, accessories, and related items for the Office of the Sheriff. The contract will be a firm‑fixed‑price, FOB‑destination agreement covering a wide range of apparel (shirts, trousers, jackets, sweats, gym wear), headgear, belts, nameplates, patches, emblems, and specialty items for new recruits, range instructors, security system operators, community affairs, internal affairs, and other sheriff personnel. Bids are to be submitted electronically by the deadline, and the County will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder after a live‑streamed bid opening. • Scope includes over 50 line‑item specifications (uniform shirts, trousers, jackets, duty bags, high‑visibility vests, patches, emblems, name plates, tie bars, belts, hats, etc.). • Quantities range from a few dozen to several hundred per item (e.g., 500 emblem patches, 75 new‑recruit shirts). • All items must meet the detailed size, material, and branding requirements outlined in the specifications. • Delivery is FOB destination; the contractor assumes all shipping costs and must obtain any necessary permits. • The contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, multi‑year (subject to annual appropriations) IDIQ‑type agreement with a 60‑day price hold after award. • Bidders must provide certifications (QBE, non‑collusion, insurance, W‑9, etc.) and comply with New Jersey equal‑employment and pay‑to‑play statutes. • No minimum purchase is guaranteed; actual order volumes may vary based on County needs.
