CID Firearms and Accessories

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Criminal Investigations, is issuing an Invitation to Bid for the procurement of approximately 600 law enforcement handguns and 2,322 firearm accessories to support state law enforcement operations in Leon County. The specific deliverables include Glock handgun models equipped with optics and tactical equipment, including red-dot optical systems, weapon lights, holsters, magazines, and ankle holsters. Respondents must possess a valid federal firearms license and comply with all applicable firearms regulations to be considered eligible for award. The Department intends to award a single fixed-price contract to the responsive vendor submitting the lowest bid, with all deliverables required to be received within 120 calendar days of purchase order issuance. All costs must be included in unit pricing with no separate delivery or shipping fees permitted. The question deadline is February 13, 2026, with sealed responses due by 3:30 PM Eastern Time on March 6, 2026, followed by a public opening at 3:45 PM the same day, with an anticipated notice of intent to award on March 24, 2026, and contract commencement upon issuance for a one-year term with no renewal options.

No set-asides or special preferences are designated for small businesses, minorities, veterans, or disadvantaged enterprises, though the Award Preferences Form allows respondents to declare such certifications that may be used in tiebreaker scenarios. Respondents must complete and submit the Mandatory Criteria Certification Form and PUR 7801 Vendor Certification Form, certifying compliance with multiple Florida statutory requirements including non-participation in boycotts of Israel, absence from scrutinized vendor lists, E-Verify registration and compliance, and confirmation of no contract termination within the prior year under Section 448.095(2)(c), F.S. The Department accepts trade-in firearms from existing inventory, which it will deliver to the contractor within 120 business days, indicating integration with current state law enforcement asset management practices. Invoicing occurs only after final deliverable approval with payment made in accordance with Florida Statutes section 215.422, subject to a one percent transaction fee through MyFloridaMarketplace and contingent upon annual legislative appropriation. The solicitation does not specify budget ranges or award values in available documentation, and the Department is exempt from sales and excise taxes on all procurement activities.
