BACKGROUND:
The Fire and Rescue Department (CMFR)has utilized Bound Tree Medical for the purchase of
emergency medical supplies for numerous years.The emergency medical supplies are specific to the
lifesaving services the Fire &Rescue Department provides.Individually,these purchases are
compliant with the City’s Purchasing Policy, however, the cumulative amount will exceed $100,000.
The department has utilized the County of Fairfax Virginia COOP agreement for the last few years,
contract number 4400005125.This contract was not renewed and expired December 2025.A new
COOP agreement has been identified,Charles County,Maryland Medical Supplies Contract 22-42

supplies and first-aid supplies.The contract includes cooperative language that,pursuant to Section

through cooperative agreements to receive competitive pricing.

recommend this alternative.Choosing this course of action would result in delays in the procurement
of required emergency supplies and operations.Additionally,returning to City Council for incremental
approvals to exceed $100,000 threshold with the identified vendor would require additional staff time
and increased workload, creating inefficiencies in the process.

Department’s FY 2025-26 operating budget in the General Fund (Fund 101).
