Statewide Chemical Munitions

The State of Missouri has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFBC30034902302783) for a Statewide Chemical Munitions procurement covering multiple jurisdictions, including Clark County. The solicitation seeks vendors to supply 49 line items of specialized chemical munitions and tactical equipment, encompassing CS smoke grenades, OC powder grenades, vapor grenades, impact projectiles, flash-bang devices, rubber balls, and related training equipment. Acceptable manufacturers include Defense Technology and Combined Tactical Systems, with equivalent products also considered. Each line item requires specific technical specifications such as discharge time, emissions ports, effective range, and sound output levels. Vendors must submit comprehensive product details including brand, model, warranty information, and pricing for each individual line item. The bid opened on June 12, 2023, with responses due by 2:00 PM CDT on June 20, 2023, and will be awarded on a firm, fixed-price basis with FOB destination delivery terms and net 45-day payment terms. Additionally, vendors may provide a firm, fixed percentage discount for chemical munitions not specifically listed in the solicitation.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors without any specified set-aside requirements or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendor is identified, and the solicitation does not disclose a total contract value or specific budget range. Vendors must submit bids through the MissouriBUYS system, with John Geiser serving as the point of contact. The contract includes unique pricing provisions, such as additional shipping charges for flash-bang products ordered in quantities less than six units. Vendors are required to bid on all 49 line items and provide a separate firm, fixed percentage discount for chemical munitions not specifically listed in the original 49 line items. The broad scope of the solicitation suggests a statewide contract intended to provide chemical munitions and tactical equipment to various government agencies and law enforcement entities across Missouri, with potential usage by jurisdictions including Clark County.
