NIGP 25751: Missiles, Air to Surface (Guided)

NIGP 25751 Missiles, Air To Surface (Guided), an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this classification. The single recent opportunity in the source — Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's RFB No. 27-0010, posted September 16, 2026 with bids due October 14, 2026 — involves a trade or credit transaction for used and confiscated firearms and the acquisition of Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories. This procurement falls squarely within law enforcement small-arms acquisition and surplus firearm disposition, not guided air-to-surface missiles. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source taxonomy or that NIGP 25751 is not the operative classification for this activity in practice.

Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department, a municipal law enforcement agency, posted the only recent opportunity visible in the source. The bid solicitation requires the successful bidder to hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm Dealer License, with bids evaluated on the basis of greatest purchase credit or swap value. Sealed bids are due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET via OpenBids, with virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day. The transaction involves 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers exchanged for approximately 50 H&K rifles (the exact quantity is not specified in the source) with three 30-round magazines per rifle and accessories. Award is subject to City Council approval following required newspaper publications. Bid security equal to five percent of the total bid value must accompany submission, and the successful bidder must complete the transfer within ten calendar days of award.
