Statewide Practice Ammunition

The State of Idaho, Division of Purchasing, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather information from experienced vendors of bulk practice ammunition. The primary intent of this RFI is to understand vendor perspectives on the design of the upcoming Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation. The State is seeking feedback on requirements, evaluation criteria, contract terms, and other factors that influence participation. The RFI is not a solicitation for quotations, bids, or proposals, and no contract award will result from it. Participation is entirely voluntary and not required for future bidding eligibility. • The State is seeking information on the ability of a single vendor to meet the needs of the State. • The State is seeking information on current industry trends in inventory availability and lead time. • Vendors are invited to comment on how the solicitation can be structured to align with the State's goals while meeting industry capabilities and encouraging broad participation. • The State anticipates issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation in early 2026, with the intention of awarding contracts to one or more vendors.
