DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Fire Rescue has historically purchased uniforms for public safety through Galls, LLC (Galls) under a prior competitively awarded contract. Galls is now an awarded vendor under Sourcewell Contract 011124-GAL, which was competitively solicited in accordance with Florida Statutes and offers favorable, discounted pricing on a wide range of uniforms and public safety apparel.
Transitioning purchases to the Sourcewell contract provides continued access to Galls’ catalog while taking advantage of updated pricing and streamlined cooperative procurement. The estimated annual expenditure of $205,000 reflects routine department uniform replacement, new employee outfitting, and specialty gear as needed for operational readiness.
Annual expenditure shall not exceed approved FY budgeted amounts without being brought back to the Board for approval.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; estimated annual expenditure of $205,000.
