About this file

This is a Solicitation Request Form and supporting justification memo from the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) for the procurement of trap machine equipment and parts. The Ben Avery Clay Target Center (CTC), operating under the IESS/CTC branch, is seeking to establish a contract for Pat-Trap trap machines, equivalent products, and related parts and accessories on an as-needed basis. The facility currently operates seventeen Pat-Trap SW Series machines and requires machines, equipment, tools, and parts to maintain operational inventory. The estimated annual spend is $15,000, with an estimated date required of September 1, 2025. The requestor identified four potential suppliers: Pat-Trap, Inc. (the incumbent manufacturer), CAC Associates, Inc., Gene Sears Supply, and Metro Gun Club. No pre-bid meeting was indicated as required. The justification for this procurement specifies that Pat-Trap machines are the industry standard recognized by both the Amateur Trap Association and Arizona State Trap Association and are manufactured in the USA, making them compliant with Buy American/BABAA requirements.

The solicitation requires compliance with Buy American/BABAA funding requirements. Pat-Trap, Inc., located in Henniker, New Hampshire, is the current supplier and serves as the brand name standard for this solicitation; however, the State explicitly reserves the right to consider equivalent products of equal quality, design, and performance from other bidders, provided sufficient technical information is submitted for evaluation. AZGFD may award the contract to one or multiple suppliers or by individual line item, whichever serves the State's best interests. A catalog discount for parts and accessories is requested from potential suppliers. The procurement was submitted by Steve Kennedy, Range Manager, on July 8, 2025, and approved by Branch Chief Michael S. Raum on July 8, 2025, and Assistant Director Anthony Guiles on July 10, 2025. The function code is 60212.

Subject: Brand Name Trap Machine Solicitation Justification Memo

Date: 7/2/2025

The Ben Avery Clay Target Center is requesting to go out to bid for a new Pat-Trap trap machine supplier due to the previous supplier no longer doing business with the State of Arizona.

The supplier has stopped returning all calls and emails, and no longer wishes to do business with us.

Pat-Trap is the current industry standard for trap machines throughout the United States and is made in the USA; therefore is BABAA compliant. The CTC currently has 16 Pat-Trap machines installed in the facility. We are interested in asking for bids for machines, equipment, tools, and parts to maintain our inventory of Pat-Trap machines.

This manufacturer is recognized by the Amateur Trap Association and the Arizona State Trap Association, the national and state governing boards for trap, respectively, as the leading manufacturer of quality trap equipment for local, state, and regional trap events. For these justifying reasons, we are requesting a brand-name solicitation for trap machines.
