The City of San Jose has issued a solicitation for biometric narcotic safes paired with a secure, cloud-based management platform, under RFQ identifier PUR-RFQ2025.12.10124. The procurement is positioned around controlled-access storage supported by centralized monitoring and administration.
The RFQ sets January 5, 2026 as the deadline for questions and objections, with bids due on January 16, 2026. Submissions must be made electronically through the Biddingo platform, and the City’s notice states vendors can register, receive notifications, and submit responses through Biddingo without cost for San Jose solicitations.
The award approach is described as price determinative, with award to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder based on the total base bid. The City also reserves the right to conduct a technology, security, and privacy review to confirm compliance with City IT, security, and privacy requirements.
The RFQ indicates an initial contract term of three years, with up to four additional one-year options, for a total potential term of seven years. Pricing is required to remain fixed during the initial term, and the document indicates that price adjustments may be considered after the initial period if justified.
The solicitation includes language indicating the resulting contract terms may be used by other public agencies, a structure sometimes used to allow cooperative purchasing. The RFQ also indicates the City may conduct a best and final offer process with one or more finalists if additional clarification is needed.
