Ammunition - Statewide

The State of Missouri has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFBC30034902000147) for a statewide ammunition procurement contract covering 119 line items of various ammunition types. The solicitation seeks new, non-reloaded ammunition including shotgun shells (12-gauge and 20-gauge), rifle ammunition (.223 caliber, 5.56mm, .308 caliber), and pistol ammunition (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, .38 Special, .357 SIG, .380 Auto) with estimated quantities ranging from 1,000 to 467,000 rounds per line item. The contract period is one year from the date of award, with potential renewal options. Vendors must provide detailed specifications for each line item, including packaging, brand/model information, delivery timeframes, and warranty terms. Pricing must be firm for the initial contract period, with vendors also required to submit pricing for the first renewal period. The bid submission period runs from July 22, 2019, to August 26, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination to various state agencies throughout Missouri. Bids will be evaluated based on responsiveness and submitted pricing, with the state reserving the right to award to multiple vendors.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, and no incumbent vendor information is provided. All vendors are eligible to respond, with the only significant qualification being that ammunition must be from new manufacturers and cannot be reloaded. Many line items specify particular brand requirements or "equivalent" products, with some items requiring specific brands with no substitutions allowed. While no estimated total contract value is explicitly stated, the wide range of quantities (1,000 to 467,000 rounds) and the comprehensive nature of the 119 line items suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, and vendors can submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy to the Division of Purchasing. The solicitation also includes a unique line item (119) specifically for freight charges related to potential cooperative procurement orders, indicating the state's intention to potentially extend contract usage beyond its own agencies.
