Nitrile gloves are durable and resistant to various <br />chemicals, narcotics, and other safety hazards that can cause cuts or pierce Officer’s <br />hands. While handling evidence, staff must also wear gloves to avoid any cross <br />contamination. Additionally, OSHA Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), <br />Bloodborne Pathogens, requires the use of nitrile gloves for safety. Therefore, it is <br />essential for patrol, crime scene investigators, and correctional officers to wear gloves <br />that protect from these exposures. <br />The Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 23-139 was advertised on August 15, 2023, on the <br />City’s online bid and management publication system.
