Carbonfire disrupter kit

Westchester County is conducting a procurement opportunity for a CarbonFire Disrupter Kit, specifically the OPS PAK III model, which is a comprehensive explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) equipment set. The procurement targets a specialized kit containing multiple components including a CarbonFire Barrel with a 6" extension, MagFire Breech and Plug, Tripod with Dual Green Laser Sights, EOD 12 ga. Laser Boresighter, HD Drag Chute, Windproof Ejection Bag, Pen Initiator, and various mounting accessories. The contract opportunity was posted on June 26, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of July 1, 2025. Potential vendors must carefully review the attached "Empire Instructions and Conditions" document, which outlines comprehensive bidding guidelines, compliance requirements, and evaluation processes. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and evaluate submissions based on multiple criteria, including product specifications, compliance with county requirements, and overall value.

The procurement appears to encourage participation from Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), as indicated in the county's instructions. Vendors must comply with County Executive Order No. 6-2007, which includes requirements for lead-free items and certification of bid fairness. The CarbonFire Disrupter Kit comes with a notable 10-Year Unconditional Warranty covering the CarbonFire10 Barrel, Breech, and Breech Plug, which may be a factor in vendor evaluation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the specialized nature of the EOD equipment suggests this is a high-value technical procurement targeting law enforcement, emergency response, or military procurement channels. Vendors must be prepared to demonstrate technical competence, provide comprehensive documentation, and meet stringent county procurement standards. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) will be the mandatory payment method for the awarded contract.
