This contract is designed to provide state agencies and eligible entities with secure, reliable options for the transportation of currency, valuables, and select packages across Washington State.
The scope of this procurement is divided into two distinct service categories to address varying security and logistical needs:

The contract ensures that all such high-value transfers are handled with the highest level of security and professionalism. Pricing for armored car services is structured by region, allowing agencies to select providers based on their specific geographic requirements.
2. **Category 2 – Courier Services:** This category provides for the transport of currency, valuables, or packages via unarmed courier services. However, it is important to note that packages requiring specialized licensing or those containing medical information are excluded from this service. Courier services are priced by county, enabling agencies to engage providers with local expertise and coverage.
