About this file
This is Addendum No. Three to Request for Bid (RFB) No. 23-0003 issued by the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division in Columbus, Georgia. The solicitation concerns the sale of confiscated firearms to a licensed firearms dealer who will provide credit or conduct a swap for Rock River LE2020M rifles with accessories. The addendum was issued on October 21, 2022, and clarifies submission requirements and licensing standards for potential bidders. Per Addendum Two, the bid due date was extended to November 2, 2022. Vendors are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum using the form provided in the original solicitation; failure to do so may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.
The addendum addresses three key vendor questions regarding federal tax exemption status, licensing requirements, and bid bond submission procedures. The City confirmed it is federally tax exempt and that the Columbus Police Department must complete federal forms when purchasing firearms. Vendors must possess a Federal Firearms Distributor License and a business license; if their state does not issue a State Firearms Dealer License, vendors must instead provide a letter of good standing from their Secretary of State. Responding vendors must submit both a copy of their bid bond check via DemandStar and mail a physical check to the Purchasing Division, with the exterior of the mailed package clearly displaying the bid number, bid name, and addressed to Sandra Chandler, Buyer.
