NIGP 25752: Missiles, Antiballistic (Guided)

NIGP 25752 Missiles, Antiballistic (Guided), an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this classification. The sole recent solicitation indexed to this code is a firearms trade and swap transaction, not antiballistic missile procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, soliciting bids on a trade or credit exchange of 306 used and confiscated firearms and seven upper receivers for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories. The transaction structure—sealed bids submitted via OpenBids with virtual bid opening—follows state and local purchasing practice, but the commodity itself (small arms and components) falls outside the antiballistic missile taxonomy. Bidders must hold a current Federal Firearm License and, where applicable, a State Firearm Dealer License. Award goes to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. Bid security equal to five percent of total bid value must accompany submission.

The Columbus Police Department posted this opportunity as the sole recent activity visible under code 25752, with a response deadline of October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET. Firearm inspections were available by appointment on September 30, 2026; coordination was through Deputy Chief Ronnie Hastings at 706-225-4035. The confiscated lot comprises .223 caliber weapons with 14" barrels, and all firearms are sold "as is, where is" without warranty. The successful bidder assumes responsibility for all transfer documentation, permits, taxes, and fees and must complete the transfer within ten calendar days of award. This appears to reflect a classification anomaly rather than active state or local procurement demand for antiballistic guided missiles.
