Overview

Summary

The City of Tucson Fire Department (TFD) is seeking a Contractor to provide the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Section with both basic and advanced life support (BLS & ALS) pharmaceuticals and supplies in addition to VendNovation brand vending machines, smart lockers, and the corresponding VendNovation software. These medical supply products will be used to provide BLS and ALS patient care by the Department’s EMTs and paramedics. The Tucson Police Department (TPD) will also utilize this contract for durable goods distribution.

Background

The City of Tucson currently owns sixteen (16) Wittern IDS vending machines and one (1) Optima Helix Vending Machine, three (3) tethered lockers (2 x 18 Door and 1 x 12 Door), and one (1) independent locker. All future purchases will be on an as-needed basis. The City reserves the right to purchase newer models, accessories, or technologies as they become available. The City currently has two separate contracts for the pharmaceuticals/supplies and the VendNovation hardware/software. Because these two contracts are largely interconnected, it will be greatly beneficial to have them combined and provided by one Contractor. The City must keep the current hardware, the current VendNovation software, and the current Operative IQ inventory software. No alternative software platforms or hardware solutions will be considered. This solicitation is split into two groups; however, only one Contractor will be awarded this contract. The grouping is for clarity purposes only.
