Ammunition

The City of Yuma, Arizona (Yuma County) is issuing Request for Bid (RFB-26-224) for the purchase and delivery of various pistol and rifle ammunition, with a deadline of February 26, 2026. The procurement encompasses five specific ammunition categories: three categories of 9mm pistol ammunition (124 Grain TMJ, 124 Grain JHP, and 124 Grain FMJ) from Speer and Winchester manufacturers in 50-round boxes, and two categories of .223 rifle ammunition (62 Grain GDSP and 55 Grain FMJ) from Speer and Federal manufacturers in 20-round boxes. All ammunition must be newly manufactured and packaged, with remanufactured ammunition explicitly prohibited. Bidders must be authorized to distribute ammunition within Arizona and cannot propose alternative ammunition specifications. The City reserves the right to award up to three bidders to ensure goods availability on an as-needed basis, with preference given to bidders offering the quickest lead times. A public bid opening will occur via Microsoft Teams on November 3, 2025, at 11:10 AM MST. Awards will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose offer best conforms to specifications and serves the City's best interests, with the City retaining discretion to consider factors including quality, delivery time, and past performance; if the contract value exceeds $100,000, the City Council must approve the award.

This procurement contains no identified set-asides or restrictions limiting eligible respondents to disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or minority-owned businesses. All bidders must comply with federal, state, and local laws, including E-Verify requirements, immigration laws, non-discrimination provisions per Federal Executive Order 11246 and Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-101, and Arizona-specific statutes regarding boycotts of Israel and forced labor prohibitions. Pricing must be quoted on a Free on Board (Destination) basis with all freight charges prepaid by the bidder and firm fixed pricing maintained for six months following notice of award, with no fuel surcharges or drop fees permitted. The City is exempt from Federal Excise Tax and Arizona State and local taxes will be added to invoices; payment is typically made within 30 days of receipt of goods or invoice, whichever is later. All products must be free of defects and warranted for one year from delivery and acceptance by the City. No incumbent vendors or current contract information is provided in the solicitation documents. The exact ammunition quantities will be determined by departmental budget allowances, as requested amounts are estimates only, with the solicitation characterized as a one-time purchase with the possibility of additional purchases within six months if funds become available.
