156-27-025 Iron Grip Brand Dumbbells

The Virginia State Police is requesting bids on Iron Grip Brand Heavy-Duty Dumbbells under Unsealed Invitation for Bid 156-27-025, with bids due August 28, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST. This is a brand-name-only spot purchase with no substitutions or alternates permitted; all items must be sourced from a single vendor.

The scope consists of Iron Grip Brand Heavy-Duty Dumbbells in specified quantities and weights, to be delivered to Virginia State Police headquarters at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, Virginia. Award will be made on a grand total basis. The Q&A cycle (closed as of August 19, 2026) clarifies that the pricing schedule defines the unit of measure as "set," with each set containing 2 pieces (1 pair) of each weighted size; bidders requesting separate pricing by weight were directed to submit bids using the fixed pricing schedule structure.

Delivery presents a material constraint: Iron Grip manufacturer has indicated production backlogs prevent shipment until the first month of 2027. Bidders must submit responses with the best available delivery date; the original delivery target of September 11, 2026 was extended to September 28, 2026 under Addendum No. 1 (posted August 24), but actual manufacturer availability does not support that window. Bidders must acknowledge Addendum No. 1 either prior to the bid due date or attached to their bid submission; signature on the addendum does not substitute for an independent signature on the original IFB document. The contract officer is Rotsukon Wangsatang.
