PROCUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORIZED USERS

The following procurement instructions for Authorized Users are published on the OGS website as a stand-alone document separate from the Contract. OGS reserves the right to change the instructions in the stand-alone document, once published, in non-material and substantive ways without seeking a Contract amendment.

A. Each Contractor’s approved Attachment 1 – Pricing (Revised 11/19/2025) and Attachment 13 –

Contractor/Dealer/Distributor Information are posted on the OGS website so that Authorized Users can find Contract pricing information, Contractor information, Dealer and Distributor contact information, prompt payment discounts, and NYS Purchasing Card information.

B. When utilizing the Contract(s), the Authorized User should be familiar with and follow the terms and conditions governing its use. The Authorized User is responsible for compliance with the requirements of public procurement processes. The Authorized User, when purchasing from OGS Contracts, should also hold the Contractor accountable for compliance with Contract terms, conditions, specifications, and other requirements. Also, in recognition of market fluctuations over time, Authorized Users are encouraged to seek improved pricing whenever possible. Authorized Users have the responsibility to document purchases which should include:

• A statement of need and associated requirements;

• Obtaining all necessary prior approvals;

• A summary of the Contract alternatives considered for the purchase, if any; and

• The reasons supporting the resulting purchase (e.g., show that the selection among multiple Contracts at the time of purchase was the most practical and economical alternative and was in the best interests of the State).

C. All State agencies, political subdivisions, and public benefit corporations (which include most public authorities) having their own purchasing agency are required to purchase approved products and services from Preferred Sources in accordance with §§ 162 and 163 of the New York State Finance Law. Before proceeding with their purchase, such Authorized Users shall check the list of Preferred Source Program offerings for Products that meet the form, function, and utility required. These Authorized Users are reminded that they must comply with State Finance Law § 162, which requires that they afford first priority to the commodities and services of Preferred Source suppliers, which include the Division of Correctional Industries (Corcraft), the NYS Preferred Source Program for People who are Blind (NYSPSP), and NYS Industries for the Disabled (NYSID), when such commodities or services meet the form, function, and utility of the Authorized User, and the price offered by Corcraft does not exceed a reasonable fair market price, and the price offered by NYSPSP and NYSID is within 15% of prevailing market prices.

If a Preferred Source offering does not meet an Authorized User’s form, function, and utility, or the Preferred Source price is more than fair market price or more than 15% above prevailing market prices, then the Authorized User may use this Contract.

D. The Contracts within this Award are Centralized Contracts issued under a multiple award structure. Pursuant to State

Finance Law § 163(10)(c), at the time of purchase, Authorized Users must base their selection among multiple Contracts upon which is the most practical and economical alternative that is in the best interests of the State.

Authorized Users are required to obtain three (3) quotes when multiple Contractors offer Products that are identical to the Product being sought (e.g., multiple Contractors offer a Product that has an identical manufacturer’s model code).

Authorized Users are strongly encouraged to seek a minimum of three (3) quotes, where possible, when multiple Contractors offer Product(s) that are similar in nature to the Product being sought (e.g., multiple Contractors offer a Product that is a similar size, style and/or material). Authorized Users are also encouraged to seek better than Contract pricing for all items, especially when purchasing in volume, as Contractors may not automatically offer volume discounts.

E. Authorized Users shall issue Purchase Orders, in accordance with the terms set forth in Appendix B Purchase

Orders, directly to the Contractor or the Contractor’s Authorized Dealer/Distributor (if applicable), and specify any shipping/delivery requirements, including inside delivery and/or installation. Inside delivery and installation terms must be agreed upon at time of order and prior to delivery. All orders should clearly note the OGS Contract Name and Award Number, Contract Number, and Contractor Name. Authorized Users should follow up with Contractor if they do not receive order acknowledgement within five (5) days.

GROUP 35200 – FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, AND LESS-LETHAL PRODUCTS AWARD 23392 PAGE 8

F. Contractor documents which contain additional terms or conditions must receive pre-approval by the Authorized User, in accordance with Appendix B Section 26 – Modification of Contract Terms.

G. Upon Authorized User acceptance of Products itemized on the Purchase Order, Contractor will invoice Authorized User for any portion of Products accepted, and accordingly, Authorized User will arrange for payment. Contractor shall provide itemized invoicing for all Products. See also Section 6.14 Invoicing and Payment.

H. The NYS sales tax exemption registration #14740026K does not apply to the federal Firearms and Ammunition

Exercise Tax (FET/FAET). Sales to State or local governments are exempt under the FET/FAET if the Manufacturer, importer or producer sells the article directly to the State or local governments for their exclusive use (26 U.S.C.

CHAPTER 32; 27 CFR 53.135 https://www.ttb.gov/regulated-commodities/firearms/reference-guide).

Sales to State or local governments and Non-Profit Educational Organizations are not exempt if the articles are resold, this includes the resale to employees (such as pistols or revolvers that are resold by a police department to its police officers).

The evidence required in support of a FET/FAET tax-free sale to State or local governments under Internal Revenue Code Chapter 32, §4221 (a)(4); 27 CFR 53.135 must consist of ONE (1) of the following:

EITHER

The Exemption Certificate referenced in B and C is located on the TTB website: https://www.ttb.gov/forms/5000.shtml.

The signed Exemption Certificate must be signed in original (“wet”) ink.

CONTRACT TERM AND EXTENSIONS

The Contract term shall end five (5) years from the date of OSC approval.

All OGS Centralized Contracts within this Award have a co-terminus end date, including those Contracts awarded during any subsequent periodic recruitment. At the State’s option, the Contract may be extended for three (3) years, in increments as deemed to be in the best interest of the State. Whether the optional extensions are exercised is at the sole discretion of the State. A Contractor shall retain the right to decline a Contract extension offered under this section. Any Contract extension will be under the same terms and conditions, subject to the approval of OSC and any additional applicable statutory and policy requirements. Any extensions provided under this section shall apply in addition to any rights set forth in Appendix B Contract Term – Extension.

The Contract term provided for in this section shall extend six (6) months beyond its termination date only for Authorized Users whose contracts must be registered with the Office of the New York City Comptroller. During the six (6) -month period the definition of Authorized User shall be deemed to refer only to Authorized Users whose contracts must be registered with the Office of the New York City Comptroller. This extension is in addition to any other extensions available under the Contract. The extension provided for in this paragraph shall be upon the then-existing terms and conditions; provided, however, during such extension an Authorized User, as defined in this paragraph, may agree to amend such terms and conditions solely to comply with changes in statutory requirements (e.g.

changes in minimum, prevailing or living wages, or regulated services).

SHORT TERM EXTENSION

This section shall apply in addition to any rights set forth in Appendix B Contract Term – Extension. In the event that OGS determines that a short term extension is in the best interests of the State, (e.g., a replacement Contract has not been issued, or an extended period is needed for Authorized Users to transition to another procurement method), any Contract let and awarded hereunder by the State may be extended unilaterally by the State for an additional period of up to thirty https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ttb.gov%2Fregulated-commodities%2Ffirearms%2Freference-guide&data=05%7C02%7CJennifer.Stafford%40ogs.ny.gov%7C60582cd5a2c74dfbba7708de0c259f68%7Cf46cb8ea79004d108ceb80e8c1c81ee7%7C0%7C0%7C638961552874232204%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YzsGAAoX7feOof22AEDx6V5WgLIkoulcIS9svMFXUvw%3D&reserved=0 https://www.ttb.gov/forms/5000.shtml

GROUP 35200 – FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, AND LESS-LETHAL PRODUCTS AWARD 23392 PAGE 9

(30) calendar days upon notice to the Contractor with the same terms and conditions as the original Contract and any previously approved modifications. With the concurrence of the Contractor, the extension may be for a period of up to ninety (90) calendar days in lieu of thirty (30) calendar days. However, unless otherwise noted in the extension notification or agreement, this extension automatically terminates should a replacement Contract be issued in the interim.

PRICE

The following terms and conditions apply to Contract pricing. See also Appendix B, Pricing.

A. Pricing

The Contractor’s pricing is published to the OGS website. All List Price/MSRP, Percentage Discounts, and NYS Net Pricing are rounded to two. Pricing submitted with the Bid must remain in effect through the first anniversary date of the Bid Opening. Thereafter, Contractors may request to update their pricing when the Manufacturer’s Nationally Published Price List is published in its normal manner.

Contractors may not decrease their Awarded Percentage Discount(s) on the centralized Contract (“Awarded Percentage Discount”) for the entire term of the Contract, even if the comparable GSA contract, the other governmental contract, or cooperative contract discounts are decreased.

The Awarded Percentage Discount may, however, be increased by the Contractor at any time during the Contract term.

It is the Contractor’s option to increase the Percentage Discount offered to Authorized Users based on individual orders. Such discounts may be greater, but in no instance may they be lower than, the Awarded Percentage Discount.

B. Pricing Incentives and Rebates

More favorable pricing can be offered to Authorized Users, and it is expected that Authorized Users will obtain the same rebates and special offers, such as regional and national promotional pricing, as provided to other customers, in accordance with Appendix B Pricing. If the promotional pricing offer provides a lower price than that of the NYS Net Pricing, then the Authorized User will receive the lower of the two prices.

C. Delivery

Standard delivery must be provided at no additional expense. Price must include all customs, duties, and charges (including shipping charges and handling charges), and be net, freight on board (F.O.B.) destination any point in New York State, for orders as designated by the Authorized User, including inside delivery. In addition, delivery Sites may be expanded (see Invitation for Bids Section 6.34, Extension of Use); and

D. Taxes

New York State and local governments are exempt from FET/FAET and state and local sales taxes. Sales by a manufacturer directly to New York State and local governments for the exclusive use of the State or local government are exempt from FET/FAET.

BEST PRICING OFFER

During the Contract term, if the Commissioner becomes aware that the Contractor is selling substantially the same or a smaller quantity of a Product outside of this Contract upon the same or similar terms and conditions as that of this Contract at a lower price to a federal, state or local governmental entity, the price under this Contract, after consultation with the Contractor, may be reduced to a lower price on a prospective basis at the discretion of the Commissioner. The Commissioner reserves the right to request information to verify pricing for the purposes of this clause.

PRODUCT INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE PERIOD

Appendix B Product Acceptance is hereby deemed deleted in its entirety for the purpose of this Award and any resulting Contract, and is replaced with the following:

• Title or other property interest and risk of loss must not pass from the Contractor to the Authorized User until the

Products have been received, inspected, tested, and officer qualified for a period of 60 days from the date of delivery;

GROUP 35200 – FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, AND LESS-LETHAL PRODUCTS AWARD 23392 PAGE 10

which constitutes the acceptance period by the Authorized User. Mere acknowledgment by Authorized User personnel of the delivery or receipt of Products (e.g., signed bill of lading) will not be deemed or construed as acceptance of the Products received. Authorized Users reserve the right to require a longer acceptance period at time of purchase.

• Authorized User will notify Contractor of acceptance upon successful completion of the acceptance period.

• Non-State Authorized Users and Bulkload State Agencies: If Non-State Authorized Users and Bulkload State Agencies fail to provide notice of rejection to the Contractor by the expiration of the 60-day acceptance period, this will constitute acceptance by those entities.

• Online State Agencies: After the successful completion of the 60-day acceptance period, Online State Agencies must select “accept” in SFS for the Product(s) within one (1) Business Day of completing the aforementioned 60-day acceptance period.

• After an Authorized User has provided notice of acceptance to the Contractor for the Products purchased, the

Contractor may invoice the Authorized User for payment.

TRADE-IN ITEMS

Authorized Users, as defined in Section 1.10 Definitions, qualified to purchase firearms may exchange (or trade- in) used firearms to a Contractor on this contract, if the Contractor accepts trade-ins, in exchange for credit towards a new purchase. It is acceptable for the Contractor to provide pricing for estimated trade-in Products in their quote for new purchases. However, estimates of trade-in items should not be subtracted from the NYS Net Pricing of the new items on quotes or Authorized User’s Purchase Orders.

After an Authorized User has provided notice of acceptance to the Contractor for the Products purchased, the Contractor will invoice the Authorized User for payment.

The Authorized User will submit trade-in items along with Attachment 12 - Trade-In Itemization Form to the Contractor within 30 days of invoice. Contractor must verify the accuracy of all information submitted by the Authorized User in the applicable Attachment 12 - Trade-In Itemization Form, including, but not limited to, serial numbers of each item prior to issuing a credit. See Award Section 6.15 Credit for Trade-In Items.

All items submitted to the Contractor for trade-in shall be “as-is” and OGS and Authorized User(s) make no representations as to the condition of the items. OGS and Authorized User(s) further expressly disclaim all warranties including any warranties for fitness for particular purpose or merchantability of the Products. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to investigate the condition of the items. The Contractor releases OGS and the Authorized User from all liability related to the use of the items, and will ensure that any third parties that receive any items are made aware of this disclaimer, including but not limited to the “as-is” nature of the items and agree to release OGS and the Authorized User from all liability related to the use of the items.

ORDERING

Purchase Orders shall be made in accordance with the terms set forth in Appendix B Purchase Orders. Authorized Users may submit orders over the phone, and, if available, may submit orders electronically via web-based ordering, e-mail, or facsimile at any time. Orders submitted shall be deemed received by Contractor on the date submitted.

All orders shall reference Contract number, requisition, and/or Purchase Order number (if applicable). Upon Contractor’s receipt of an order, confirmation is to be provided to the Authorized User electronically or via facsimile. Order confirmation should be sufficiently detailed, and include, at a minimum, purchase price, date of order, delivery information (if applicable), Authorized User name, and sales representative (if applicable).

(1) lower in price and/or (2) available under terms which are more economically efficient to the State Agency (e.g. delivery terms, warranty terms, etc.).

Agencies are reminded that they must provide the State Contractor an opportunity to match the non-Contract savings at least two (2) Business Days prior to purchase. In addition, purchases made under “OGS or Less” flexibility must meet all requirements of law including, but not limited to, advertising in the New York State Contract Reporter, prior approval of the Office of the State Comptroller and competitive bidding of requirements exceeding the discretionary threshold. State Agencies should refer to Procurement Council Guidelines for additional information.
