DNR LED Mossberg Training Set

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of five Mossberg hunter education training sets, each containing a pump-action shotgun, semi-automatic shotgun, break-action shotgun, bolt-action rifle, and lever-action rifle, along with lockable rolling travel cases. The solicitation requires vendors to deliver all equipment to the DNR Constitution Hall, North Tower Law Enforcement Division located at 525 West Allegan Street, 4th Floor, Lansing, Michigan 48933. Bidders must submit completed RFQ forms with highlighted sections attached to their proposals in SIGMA VSS, entering the total delivered price in the Line Item tab, with failure to comply potentially resulting in proposal disqualification. The bid due date and opening is scheduled for Thursday, July 11th, 2019 at 9:30 a.m., with bidders required to submit questions via email to Solicitation Manager Samantha Fusco by Monday, July 8th, 2019 at 9:00 a.m., and answers to be posted on SIGMA VSS by 4:00 p.m. EST on July 9th, 2019. Pricing must include delivery on an F.O.B. destination basis, with vendors permitted to invoice upon DNR acceptance and payment due within 45 days of invoice receipt unless a quick payment discount is offered. The State reserves the right to use the lower amount if discrepancies exist between quoted amounts in the RFQ document and SIGMA VSS.

The procurement includes consideration of qualified disabled veteran (QDV) status under MCL 18.1261(8) as an evaluation criterion, requiring bidders claiming this designation to provide proof of service, discharge documentation, proof of service-connected disability, and legal documents or certification demonstrating business ownership. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors were listed in the solicitation materials. The RFQ does not specify an explicit budget range or award value; however, the procurement seeks pricing for five complete training sets with associated equipment and delivery. No set-aside designations restricting participation to specific organization types were identified in the available documentation, though the QDV evaluation criterion may provide a competitive advantage for qualifying veterans' businesses.
