1293839: Purchase of Ammunition & Simunition (Groups A through F)

The City of Chicago Office of Public Safety Administration is requesting bids on ammunition and simunition for the Chicago Police Department across six product groups (A through F) under Specification Number 1293839, with bids due September 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. City Business Preference and Local Manufacture Preference provisions apply; no MBE/WBE or VBE participation goals are stated.

The scope comprises 70 line items organized by ammunition type: handgun ammunition, rifle ammunition, shotgun ammunition, training rounds, simunition products, and miscellaneous forensics ammunition and accessories. Target quantities range from 1 case to 100,000 units per line, with pricing on a unit-per-case basis. Bidders may respond to selected lines rather than all lines; nonresponsive lines require a bid price of $0.0000000001 to preserve responsiveness. Delivery is to the Training Division at 121 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602.

The contract term is 60 months. Pricing includes a capped price-adjustment provision for most line items (Groups 1–5) but not for Group 6 (Cabela's catalog items sourced directly). Payment occurs immediately upon invoicing. Bidders must register in the City of Chicago's iSupplier vendor portal; registration allows three business days for completion.

The pre-solicitation conference is scheduled for April 30, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. Central Time at City Hall, Room 806, 121 N. LaSalle. Questions are due May 7, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. Central Time. Bid submission is electronic through iSupplier only; no site visits are required. Required bid documents include an Economic Disclosure Statement certificate, completed and notarized proposal pages, bid execution pages, and proof of required insurance.
