The city of Dallas has issued a request for competitive sealed proposals (RFCSP) for an inventory management system.
The successful vendor will enter a four-year contract to replace the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department’s (DFR) existing legacy system, which is responsible for managing the department’s inventory acquisition, distribution and tracking.
The inventory system will manage clothing, station supply, emergency medical services supply, fleet maintenance, parts supply and fuel tracking. It must support barcode scanning, RFID and assignment transfers with signature authentication via signature pads.
The city is also requesting integration with supply vending machines and the department’s ePCR system for medication tracking and ordering.
According to the city’s quarterly forecast for FY 2024 Q2, the Information and Technology Services Department estimates it will spend $1.35 million on the system’s procurement.
More detailed information about RFCSP No. BCZ24-00024447, including all submission requirements and requests, can be found online. An optional pre-proposal meeting will be held at 2 p.m. April 1. The deadline for questions is 10 a.m. April 5. The deadline for proposals is 1 p.m. April 26.
