U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance worked with Fairfax County, VA, and several other local government agencies to establish a contract to provide homeland security equipment to local government.

The contract for homeland security and disaster assistance commodities was awarded through a public solicitation done on behalf of all local and state public agencies, as well as for non-profit organizations serving local governments.

The solicitation meets the needs of the Homeland Security Administration and the Office of Domestic Preparedness for the use of federally-funded support to local and state agencies. The contract contains thousands of safety and security-related products in twelve categories. Most of the products offered qualify for funding under the Homeland Security Administration guidelines.

Over 300 manufacturers are represented through the contract, so it is important to engage with the supplier early in the procurement process to identify needs and determine the available alternatives. Pricing has been established at a 39 percent discount off the supplier’s most current price list. Freight terms are FOB Destination and quantity discounts may be available through the contract.
