The FDC intends to equip its Probation Officers with the following weapons and accessories:

G45/G48s, night sights, and magazines, to ensure officer and community safety. GLOCK Armorer courses are required to train officers to maintain and service the FDCs weapons.

Intended Single Source:

GLOCK Inc.

6000 Highlands Parkway, Smyrna, GA 30082

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$2,000,000 annually for a three (3) year term.

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Currently, the FDC employs GLOCK Armorer-certified staff to service weapons carried by Probation Officers. GLOCK Professional, Inc., a subsidiary of GLOCK Inc., is the only authorized provider of GLOCK training courses. Armorer courses are required to provide instruction on the weapon's mechanical functioning, assembly/disassembly, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair. Certified Armorers ensure that the handguns warranty is maintained and that FDC staff are properly trained to handle the weapon. The FDC's Probation Officers are currently trained to carry GLOCK handguns. Purchasing from a vendor other than GLOCK would require the discontinuance of previously purchased weapons and neccesitate the retraining of Department personnel.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

Regina Morrison, Program Management Analyst, Bureau of Procurement Kimberly Howell, Correctional Programs Consultant, Office of Community Corrections Charlotte Shorter-Rumlin, Purchasing Manager, Bureau of Procurement Alyssa Dillon, Strategic Sourcing Administrator, Bureau of Procurement Shawn Satterfield, Director of Community Corrections, Office of Community Corrections Eunice Arnold, Deptuy Director of Contracting & Sourcing, Bureau of Procurment J.
