Summary
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District posted a solicitation titled "CCCFPD Ballistic Protective Equipment" for ballistic helmets, plate carriers, Level III+ hard armor plates and replacement soft armor. The BidNet Direct posting lists an open date of 2026-07-13 and a closing date of 2026-08-03; the solicitation documents on BidNet are gated and not publicly downloadable without registration. County Legistar records show the District approved a purchase order to F.S.O.C. LLC on 2026-06-09 to procure similar ballistic protective equipment, which suggests the purchase/award activity occurred prior to the BidNet posting and introduces uncertainty about award status.
