From the meeting
At its October 7, 2026 meeting, the Board approved submission of a $10,199 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant for five ballistic vests for the police department. Grant Writer Karen Cook presented it, and the town said there was no cost share. The request is tied to replacing vests that are expiring, so the buying need is specific even though funding is grant-based.
A supplier should watch the grant outcome and any follow-on vest purchase if awarded.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Oxford's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
