Those states marked in Orange represent the states which have other programs. Those states marked in Blue may have programs, however BVP is unaware of the details or requirements. If you know of any such program, please email us and let us know. The State and Local Law Enforcement Equipment Procurement Program is a program which allows State and local governments to purchase new law enforcement equipment through Federal procurement channels, provided that the equipment is used in the performance of counter-drug activities . The program affords State and local governments the opportunity to maximize their use of taxpayer dollars, by taking advantage of the purchasing power of the Federal Government to receive discounts commensurate with large volume purchases.
Preference is given to counter-drug and terrorism requests.
In addition, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership prohibition against the use of other Federal funds for a jurisdiction's matching funds does not apply to recognized tribal governments. We encourage you to participate in either or both programs, depending on your needs and how you can most benefit. As per the law authorizing the BVP program, armor vests listed in this catalog are the only vests available for selection.
