City Council Report 
 
Date: 
March 9, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Dollar Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Safety and Medical Supplies for 
the Mesa Police and Public Safety Support Departments (Citywide)  
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the contract amendment as recommended. 
 
The Mesa Police and Public Safety Support Departments and Procurement Services 
recommend increasing the dollar limit to the City of Mesa Safety and Medical Supplies 
contract; Contract No. 2022028, with Henry Schein, Inc.; Mallory Safety and Supply; 
Safeware, Inc.; Premier Medical Distribution, LLC; By Love, Inc.; Bound Tree Medical, LLC; 
and Arrowhead Scientific, Inc. by $400,000, from $200,000 in a combined total amount not 
to exceed, $600,000 for Year 5. 
 
Background / Discussion  
 
The Mesa Police and Public Safety Support Departments require a continuous supply of 
miscellaneous safety and medical supplies such as gloves, sanitary wipes, safety glasses, 
face masks, and bio-hazard materials that are essential for maintaining sanitary practices 
and taking precaution against the spread of hazards and disease. In the past, this contract 
was primarily used to purchase miscellaneous safety and medical supplies for use in the 
field, but the contract also includes safety equipment such as ballistic helmets, shields, 
tactical respirators, and other specialized officer safety equipment.  
 
A dollar limit increase is needed to purchase ballistic shields for all districts, tactical 
respirators for Special Ops, ballistic helmets for FY27 Life Cycle Replacement, 
miscellaneous contract purchases, and PPE safety and medical supplies. Increasing the 
contract threshold will ensure Mesa Police can procure essential safety equipment for their 
officers in a timely and efficient manner. Mesa Police compared quotes from three different 
vendors/coop contracts, and Safeware, Inc. had the lowest pricing for ballistic helmets and 
ballistic shields; because our city contract offered the best pricing, it is necessary to increase 
the not to exceed dollar threshold. The contract is in the last year and is being rebid.
