Chemical munitions - statewide

The State of Missouri has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFBC30034901801764) for a statewide chemical munitions contract, seeking comprehensive procurement of various chemical munitions and related products. The solicitation covers 49 line items including CS smoke grenades, OC powder grenades, rubber ball grenades, flash-bang devices, training equipment, and various 40mm and 12-gauge projectiles, with quantities ranging from 1 to 821 units per item. The contract period is one year from the date of award, with options for two additional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due by March 1, 2018, at 2:00 PM CST, with delivery terms set as FOB Destination to various state agencies throughout Missouri. Vendors must provide firm, fixed pricing for the initial contract period and two renewal periods, and include product specification sheets for each item. The bid references Defense Technology and Combined Tactical Systems products as quality standards, though equivalent products are acceptable with proper documentation. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, and vendors must complete and submit Exhibits A and F along with their bid response.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents. The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the detailed product specifications and requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit limitations on vendor eligibility. The total estimated quantity across all line items is approximately 3,735 units, though a specific total contract value is not provided. The solicitation includes a unique provision allowing vendors to propose a firm, fixed percentage discount for additional chemical munitions not specifically listed in the 49 line items. Additional shipping charges may apply for flash-bang products (items 39-47) when ordered in quantities less than six units. While the exact budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant procurement investment for statewide law enforcement and security agencies.
