The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bid IFB-060-3154003-CF for the purchase and delivery of Simunition and miscellaneous products, with electronic bids due December 8, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. PST. Bids are accepted only through the County's online bidding system. Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certified bidders receive a five percent deduction from bid prices for evaluation purposes, or eight percent if certified as both OCLSB and DVBE. This is an evaluation preference, not a set-aside, and the County will award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The 24 line items include 9mm and 5.56mm simunition cartridges in multiple colors, protective helmets, masks, vests, gloves, groin protectors, throat collars, anti-fog solution, and bolt conversions. Products must be new, and no substitutions are permitted without prior written County approval. The contractor must deliver within 30 to 90 calendar days of order receipt, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., to three Sheriff's Department locations: the Training Center, the Mutual Aide/Reserves Bureau, and SWAT, in Orange and Tustin, California. Prices must remain firm for 365 days, and all prices are F.O.B. destination with freight as a separate line item. The County may make multiple awards or reject any or all bids.

The contract term is three calendar years effective May 1, 2027, with no automatic renewal absent Board of Supervisors approval. No minimum order quantities apply. The contract may be extended to other governmental entities under a Cooperative Program with a 2 percent administrative rebate payable to the County on subordinate sales. Federal grant funding applies to portions of the work, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards, Clean Air Act, and Energy Policy and Conservation Act provisions. Payment is net 30 in arrears.

Awardees must furnish a faithful performance bond and a labor and material payment bond, with bond amounts at or above the estimated contract value, plus certificates of insurance including $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate commercial general liability. Bidders must also hold valid D-U-N-S and UEI numbers and submit debarment and non-collusion certifications. Questions must be submitted through the solicitation's Q&A section, as bidders may not contact other County personnel.
