The goal of the VSA’s First Responder Supplies and Equipment Procurement Program is to establish cooperative contracts for use by public bodies in the Commonwealth that achieve competitive pricing on equipment that county and city government agencies purchase, including but not limited to weapons, ammunition, technology, body armor, EMS supplies, and related supplies and equipment. The Association’s program helps to eliminate duplication of effort through the creation of one statewide contract that can be used by all public bodies throughout the United States.
