Description
The State of California, through the Department of General Services, is seeking qualified firms to supply a multi‑year, statewide contract for factory‑loaded ammunition covering a broad range of handgun, rifle, and shotgun calibers. The contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, line‑item award with a base term of two years and up to three one‑year extensions. Bidders must submit a pricing worksheet, meet strict performance specifications, and certify compliance with numerous state and federal regulations. The solicitation emphasizes use of the California Highway Patrol Approved Brands List, but allows non‑listed items if they pass required testing.
• Supplies include 9 mm, .38 Special, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 ACP handguns; 12‑gauge shotgun; .223/5.56, .308/7.62, and .338 Lapua rifles.
• Pricing is based on “price per round” with mandatory FOB‑destination terms and a 90‑day delivery window after order receipt.
• Mandatory certifications include seller’s permit, DOJ ammunition vendor license, civil‑rights certifications, and compliance with the Iran Contracting Act and other debarment statutes.
• Preference incentives are available for small‑business, DVBE, SB/NVSA, and TACPA participants, and a 1.25 % local‑government incentive fee applies to qualifying purchases.
