9mm Duty Ammunition

The Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement is soliciting bids for the procurement of 25,000 rounds of 9mm Speer Gold Dot Hollow Point duty ammunition. To ensure consistency and interoperability with existing inventories, the agency strictly prohibits substitutions, requiring factory-new production with a bullet weight of 124 grain and a muzzle velocity of 1150 fps. The award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible offeror, and the selected vendor must be HCE compliant. All bid submissions must include all associated costs, including transportation, delivery fees, and taxes. The ammunition must be delivered to the specified address in Honolulu, Oahu, no later than 180 days from the date of the award. Vendors are required to provide a tax clearance certificate from the State of Hawaii and the IRS, a general excise tax license, and a current certificate of compliance from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The contract is governed by the AG-008 103D General Conditions, which mandate strict adherence to state laws, including specific technological safeguards for personal information and the requirement for original invoices for payment processing.
