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: Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of 200 Ballistic Helmets (Replacement) for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide) Recommendation Council is requested to approve the award as recommended. The Mesa Police Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the purchase using the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract with Mallory Safety and Supply, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $102,000, based on estimated requirements. Background / Discussion This contract will be used to purchase 200 ballistic helmets with face shields and storage bags to replenish inventory stock at PD Supply. These helmets will be distributed to new officers and used to replace expired helmets for existing officers. The OMNIA Partners cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the City’s procurement requirements. Utilizing the OMNIA Partners contract allows the City to receive competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is fair and reasonable and soliciting for these products would not result in the City receiving more favorable pricing or terms.
