BCM Upper Receivers

The City of Spokane Police Department issued an RFQ for “BCM Upper Receivers,” which are complete M4‑style barreled upper receivers meeting specific military‑grade specifications. Vendors were required to submit unit price quotes electronically via ProcureWare by 30 Dec 2020, with the award announced on 6 Jan 2021. The solicitation emphasized price, quality, delivery capability, and compliance with federal grant requirements. No budget ceiling was disclosed, and quotes had to remain valid for 60 days. The RFQ listed mandatory vendor certifications (e.g., PCB‑free, non‑collusion) and allowed the City to purchase additional quantities at the quoted price. Two bidders, Protection First and The Bunker, appeared in the results, suggesting a possible multiple‑award outcome. • Required product: Barreled upper receivers (M4 feed‑ramp barrel extension with flat‑top receiver) meeting detailed material, finish, and testing specs. • Submission method: Electronic only through Spokane’s ProcureWare portal; no hard‑copy or email bids accepted. • Evaluation criteria: Primarily price (including tax & discounts) plus quality, delivery schedule, vendor reputation, and compliance with applicable federal grant rules.
