Daniel Defense Rifle

This state and local contract opportunity issued by the California Department of Justice (DOJ) seeks quotes for the procurement of 36 Daniel Defense DD4 RIIIS 11.5 Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs). The requested rifles must include fully ambidextrous controls, a 10.5" RIS III rail with M-LOK attachments, an 11.5" free-floating government-profile barrel, and polymer furniture with soft-touch over-molding. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) does not provide details on the project timeline, response due dates, award dates, or contract term. However, the RFQ indicates that the contract, if awarded, will be made on an "all or nothing" basis to the lowest responsible bidder, excluding sales tax. The RFQ also outlines small business and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) program requirements and preferences.

The procurement is open to both California-based and out-of-state firearms dealers, provided they hold a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) of specific types, a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), and a Dangerous Weapons Permit (DWP) for certain firearm sales. California-based dealers without a DWP cannot offer assault weapons or short-barrel rifles for sale, while out-of-state dealers can ship these firearms directly to the agency. The RFQ does not provide any information about incumbent contractors, funding sources, or the anticipated award value for this contract opportunity.
