NIGP 25763: Missiles, Surface to Surface (Guided)

NIGP 25763 Missiles, Surface To Surface (Guided), Item, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The single recent opportunity posted—Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department RFB No. 27-0010 (due October 14, 2026)—involves a trade or swap transaction for used and confiscated firearms and rifles, not guided surface-to-surface missiles. The solicitation requests bids on 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers to be exchanged for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET via OpenBids with virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM. The winning bidder 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.

The scope of this Item code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement taxonomy as currently deployed. The Columbus Police Department opportunity represents a used-equipment disposition and replacement procurement typical of municipal law-enforcement operations, not weapons-system acquisition. No geographic spread across multiple states or jurisdictions is evident in recent activity. Firearm inspections are available by appointment only on September 30, 2026 between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM; coordination is through Deputy Chief Ronnie Hastings at 706-225-4035. The successful bidder must complete the transfer within ten calendar days of award and assume responsibility for all transfer documentation, permits, taxes, and fees. Bid security equal to five percent of the total bid value must accompany the electronic submission and be mailed separately to the Purchasing Division.
