Handheld Energy Weapons with Accessories for Law Enforcement

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is initiating a blanket contract for the provision of 702 AXON Taser 10 Handheld Energy Weapons, designed to modernize and enhance the capabilities of its law enforcement personnel. These energy weapons must adhere to stringent specifications, including a range between 40 to 45 feet, robust high-impact polymer construction, integrated LED flashlight and laser sight features, and comprehensive safety mechanisms. An extensive suite of accessories is included, such as holsters, battery packs, cleaning kits, armorer maintenance kits, live duty and training cartridges, as well as advanced training resources like Axon Academy online modules, evidence management software, and virtual reality training equipment. All items supplied must be new and guaranteed under manufacturer warranty. The contract period extends from the date of award through August 31, 2030, with the possibility of a one-year extension if needed. Initial delivery and subsequent as-needed orders will be fulfilled to the TPWD Game Warden Training Center in Hamilton, Texas. Bidders are required to confirm their eligibility as Texas bidders and demonstrate compliance with state regulations regarding foreign adversaries. Preference in awarding the contract will be given to Texas-based suppliers and those with service-disabled veteran ownership as specified by state procurement rules. This agreement reflects a significant investment in law enforcement readiness, with an estimated value ranging between $500,000 and $1,500,000.
