About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation for crowd control equipment for Colombia. The solicitation seeks oleoresin capsicum (OC), commonly known as pepper spray, in various delivery systems including grenades, projectiles, and smoke. Acceptable grenade bodies must be steel. Smoke grenades and projectiles must use OC and not CS tear gas. Bean bag rounds must be 12-gauge. A total of 2,000 smoke grenades in five different colors are required. The questions and answers clarify these requirements and specifications, allowing for aluminum grenade bodies but not substituting other non-lethal agents in place of OC. The solicitation was issued by the Department of State Office of Acquisition Management for crowd control equipment to be delivered to Colombia.
