Weapons (Investigations)

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting sole-source quotes for law enforcement weapons (26 Sig Sauer P365 9mm pistols) through Alabama Buys with responses due October 9, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement — a decision-flipping constraint that eliminates competitive bidding.

The scope is 26 Sig Sauer P365 9mm pistols, model SIGP385, in 4-inch black striker-fired configuration with X-Ray 3 sights and modular polymer grips. Each unit includes one 17-round magazine and two 21-round steel magazines. The specification calls for Sig-Loc Pro modification for California compliance (model designation Ca-9-BXR3-RXSL). Delivery is to the State of Alabama Administrative Services Division, Suite 354, 501 Washington Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama 36130. All shipping and handling costs must be included in the quoted price.

The maximum contract cost is capped at $25,000 with a term of up to five years from the effective date. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys; suppliers must be registered in the platform and affirm receipt of the solicitation and any amendments. Suppliers must certify they have not engaged in collusion or been barred from bidding, comply with all Standard Terms and Conditions for Quick Quotes, and accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State. The State may conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis and may request written proof of supplier qualifications including manufacturer reseller authorization, professional licenses, and certificates of insurance. Suppliers must be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State if they are foreign corporations and must verify E-Verify enrollment if employing one or more employees within Alabama, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification. Price escalation requests may be considered if increases do not exceed five percent of annual contract cost and are documented with justification. The contract is governed by Alabama law with sole venue in Montgomery.
