BID DCNR Firearms

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Bureaus of State Parks and Forestry, is soliciting no-substitution bids under Invitation for Bid BID DCNR Firearms for 265 Glock G45 Gen6 pistols with Aimpoint COA and 40 Glock G43X AMGLO Bold pistols, with bids due October 30, 2026. Only bidders who are authorized Glock dealers or distributors holding both Federal and Pennsylvania Firearms Licenses are eligible.

Each G45 Gen6 includes three magazines, a trigger locking device, and an Aimpoint COA. Each G43X includes three magazines and a trigger locking device. Shipping and handling are included in unit pricing. Bids must be submitted through the PA Supplier Portal with Attachment A (Firearms Trade-In Sheet), proof of Glock authorization, copies of both firearms licenses, a Reciprocal Limitations Act form, and a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form. The Reciprocal Limitations Act form applies to bids exceeding $10,000 and establishes Pennsylvania's reciprocal preferences for Pennsylvania resident bidders and Pennsylvania-sourced goods; failure to complete it results in bid rejection.

Bidders must price a trade-in for 265 Smith & Wesson M&P 40 M2.0 full-size pistols and 35 M&P 40 Shield M2.0 compact pistols purchased in 2021. Trade-in values are deducted from total bid price to determine the lowest responsive bid. Trade-in firearms become available January 31, 2027, with transition anticipated between March and August 2027. The contractor must accept multiple batches and pick up firearms within fifteen days of notification. DCNR officers may repurchase their previously issued service firearms within sixty days of trade-in receipt at trade-in price plus applicable transfer fees.

Delivery occurs in five installments beginning February 1, 2027, with final delivery April 26, 2027, under a contract term through August 31, 2027. Awards go to the lowest total sum from the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to award by line item or total bid. Payment is made by ACH within 30 days of proper invoice, and the contractor warrants all items free of defects for one year following acceptance. The posting is tagged to Luzerne County. No pre-bid conference is scheduled. Written questions go to the Issuing Officer, and responses to questions submitted within 48 hours of the bid due date are at the Commonwealth's discretion.
