NIGP 25750: Missiles, Air to Air (Guided)

NIGP 25750 Missiles, Air To Air (Guided), an Item code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity appearing under this code in recent state and local solicitations. Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, soliciting bids on a trade or credit transaction involving 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in exchange for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories—a transaction rooted in law-enforcement asset disposition and tactical-rifle acquisition, not guided air-to-air missiles. State and local governments use this code for firearms and firearm-related equipment procurement, particularly when police departments and public-safety agencies dispose of confiscated weapons and acquire replacement duty weapons. The issuing body in the recent record is a municipal consolidated government police department executing a trade-in or credit-swap structure rather than a traditional purchase.

The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department RFB requires sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET, with virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day via OpenBids. Bidders must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm Dealer License. Award is made to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. The confiscated lot comprises 306 weapons and seven upper receivers in .223 caliber with 14" barrels, handguards, and A-post front sights. The H&K rifles must include three 30-round magazines per rifle, gas-operated short stroke piston, rotating bolt, and adjustable rear stock with six positions. Bidders must submit a notarized E-Verify affidavit, copies of federal and state firearm licenses, Form W-9, current business license or home-state licensing proof, Conflict of Interest Affidavit, and Communication Concerning This Solicitation form. Bid security equal to five percent of the total bid value must accompany the electronic submission. The successful bidder assumes responsibility for all transfer documentation, permits, taxes, and fees and must complete the transfer within ten calendar days of award.
