THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Sault Ste. Marie Police Department has applied to the Michigan DNR Snowmobile Law Enforcement Grant Program for FY 2026-2027. The request covers one new 2027 Ski-Doo Renegade Adrenaline 900 snowmobile and emergency lighting/sound outfitting, replacing an aging sled.
The equipment quote from a local dealer totals $13,130, with the department planning to sell an older unit separately. This is a concrete, grant-backed equipment purchase, relevant for OEMs, dealers, and upfitting vendors looking at current and future patrol fleet needs in a major snowmobile destination.
Grant application includes program wages, supplies/materials, and equipment inventory for the 2026-2027 snowmobile patrol season.

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.
