Annual Contract for Ammunition

Tarrant County is seeking bids to establish an annual contract for duty and training ammunition, with the contract intended for use on an as-needed basis. The contract will be awarded for an initial period of twelve months, starting from the date of award or notice to proceed, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional twelve-month periods, contingent upon mutual agreement and the county’s approval. During the contract term, prices must remain fixed, ensuring cost stability for the county. Vendors interested in renewal must submit updated documentation within 30 days prior to the renewal period to maintain their eligibility, and failure to do so could result in the county rescinding the renewal option or initiating a new solicitation process.

The contract also incorporates the county’s HUB policy, promoting equal opportunity for certified Historically Underutilized Businesses and setting a 20% participation goal. The solicitation details, including response deadlines, contact information, and legal obligations, are available through the county’s designated procurement platform. Overall, the contract aims to ensure a secure, compliant, and fair procurement process for essential law enforcement ammunition supplies, supporting Tarrant County’s operational needs while fostering equitable business opportunities.
