The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections is soliciting bids for a combined purchase and buyback program involving shotguns. The agency seeks to procure 1,200 new shotguns consisting of 1,190 Mossberg 590 7-Shot pump-action shotguns (12 gauge, 18.5" barrel, synthetic stock) and 10 Mossberg 590-M Breacher Pro Series shotguns (12 gauge, 11.5" barrel). Simultaneously, the agency is requesting buyback services for approximately 1,209 used shotguns of various makes, models, and conditions currently in inventory. This is a single solicitation to be awarded to the supplier offering the best combined purchase and buyback value. The agency has requested a two-month transition period between receipt of new shotguns and return of buyback weapons to allow time for training and delivery to correctional institutions. A critical amendment requires the selected supplier to pick up the buyback shotguns directly from the agency at 11781 St. Rt. 762, Orient, Ohio 43146. Interested bidders should contact Richard Clark at richard.clark@drc.ohio.gov or 614-969-9423, or Travis Johnson at travis.johnson@drc.ohio.gov or 614-877-6345 for additional information.
