Colt Rifles

The state of California, through the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ), is seeking to procure 75 Colt M4 EPR Carbine Enhanced Patrol Rifles for their Special Agents. The rifles must be purchased from an authorized firearms dealer licensed to sell law enforcement-grade equipment to the CA DOJ and must comply with the department's current policy and training requirements. The key requirements include the rifles having M-Lok foregrips and being lightweight. Bidders must submit their quotes by July 8, 2024, and the CA DOJ will make the award on an "all or nothing" basis to the lowest responsible bidder, excluding sales tax. The contract will be subject to the CA DOJ's General Provisions and Bidder Instructions.

The solicitation includes a DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) incentive, but the DVBE program requirements have been waived for this specific opportunity. There is no mention of any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor any information provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The budget or award value range is also not specified in the documentation provided.
