Glock holsters

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) is procuring Level 3 duty holsters compatible with the agency's new Glock G45 MOS weapons platform, which includes a weapon-mounted light and optic. The solicitation seeks bids for both right-handed (1,100 initial units) and left-handed (200 initial units) holsters, with additional quantities to cover the potential five-year contract term. Alternate holster models may be considered if they meet the specified requirements, which include ejection port retention, heat-resistant polymer construction, and compatibility with a quick disconnect system. Bids are due by November 7, 2024, and the award will be posted on November 14, 2024. The contract term is one year with four one-year renewal options.

The procurement includes preferences for in-state vendors, in-state subcontractors, and vendors offering South Carolina or U.S. end products. No minority business set-asides are indicated, but the state will consider the use of certified minority subcontractors. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the state reserves the right to purchase more or less than the estimated quantities. The current incumbent contractor is not identified, and the specific award value or budget range is not provided.
