NIGP 25758: Missiles, Ballistic (Guided)

NIGP 25758 Missiles, Ballistic (Guided) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure firearms and related weaponry for law enforcement and public safety operations. The scope of work encompasses acquisition of rifles, handguns, and tactical firearms; trade-in or credit transactions involving confiscated or used weapons inventories; and firearm accessories including magazines, sighting systems, and stock assemblies. Law enforcement agencies—municipal police departments, county sheriffs' offices, and state police—are the primary issuing bodies under this code, typically soliciting through IFB or trade-credit arrangements when rotating inventory or upgrading tactical capability.

Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, seeking trade or credit value on 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in exchange for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles (Part No. 81001048) with accessories, with sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET. The bidder must hold a current Federal Firearm License and applicable state licensing; award goes to the highest responsive and responsible bidder offering the greatest purchase credit or swap value, subject to City Council approval. Firearm inspections were available by appointment on September 30, 2026 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM through Deputy Chief Ronnie Hastings at 706-225-4035. The confiscated lot comprised .223 caliber weapons with 14" barrels, handguards, and A-post front sights. Recent activity under this code remains limited to the Columbus opportunity; geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be characterized from a single recent solicitation.
