Rifle Trade-in and Purchase

This contract concerns the trade‑in of existing AR‑15‑style rifles and the purchase of ten new Smith & Wesson M&P®15T SBR 556 rifles for a county sheriff’s office. The solicitation was issued by Snohomish County Purchasing and Contracting Services and required formal bids. Two vendors responded, but the county recommended Proforce Law Enforcement as the awardee. The trade‑in component provides a credit against the purchase price, resulting in a net payable amount of roughly $5,800 (if awarded to IWI) or a $63 credit (if awarded to Proforce). Key points: • Scope: Trade‑in of legacy rifles and acquisition of new law‑enforcement‑only rifles. • Vendor requirements: Federal Firearms License, acceptance of purchase‑card payments without fees. • Financials: Trade‑in credits of $9,275 (Proforce) and $4,200 (IWI) offset against purchase totals of $9,212 (Proforce) and $10,000 (IWI). • Timeline: Bids due July 2 2024, award announced July 8 2024.
