Description
The City of Mobile is conducting a public auction of two lots of used firearms owned by the Police Department. Bidders must submit a sealed cash bid by March 27 2026, include a 5 % bid‑bond, and possess a valid Federal Firearm License (Type 01 or 02). The winning bidder (per lot) will purchase the entire lot “as‑is,” assume all logistics, packaging, transport, and insurance costs, and must provide a Certificate of Authority if out‑of‑state. No warranties are provided, and payment must be made via wire transfer before the firearms are released. An addendum dated March 16 2026 updates the inventory list, removing non‑resalable items. Key points include:
• Auction format – highest cash bid per lot wins.
• Strict licensing and E‑Verify requirements for bidders.
• Mandatory 5 % bid‑bond and wire‑transfer payment method.
• All‑cost‑plus logistics (packaging, transport, insurance) fall on the winning bidder.
• No predetermined contract value; the contract value is the cash bid amount.
