Law enforcement handguns and trade in- option

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is seeking to obtain competitive bids from federal firearm licensees for the outright purchase and delivery of approximately 200 law enforcement handguns, specifically Walther PDP Compact with night-sight and/or Walther PDP Full Size 4" with night-sight handguns. FDACS intends to trade in their current department-owned Glock handguns for credit to the awarded bidder. The bid is due on May 26, 2023, with a public bid opening on May 30, 2023, and the anticipated award date is June 6, 2023. The awarded bidder must have a valid federal firearm license and allow trade-in on all current department-owned Glock handguns. FDACS reserves the right to purchase additional firearms and equipment without trade-in credit after all credits for the initial 228 handguns are expended.

The contract opportunity is specific to the needs of Leon County and the City of Tampa in the state of Florida. Bidders must possess a Federal Firearms License (FFL) to participate. FDACS will make a single award or no award based on the best interest of the state and will consider the Florida-based business preference in the event of a tie bid. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified in the provided information, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not provided, and the budget range or possible award value is also not specified.
