MPA 31 Firearms, Ammunition and Less-Lethal Equipment

Solicitation OEV26005883 is an Open Enrollment request from the State of Rhode Island to establish a Master Price Agreement (MPA) for the supply of firearms, ammunition, and less-lethal equipment. The contract period runs from November 21, 2025, through December 31, 2027. The scope of work is divided into nine product categories, including firearms, various types of ammunition, restraints, batons, holsters, conducted electrical weapons, less-lethal gases, and firearm optics. This agreement creates a qualified vendors list, and individual state agencies will select vendors for specific purchases at their discretion based on price, expertise, and availability. Vendors are evaluated on a pass/fail basis through a Vendor Assessment Form, requiring proof of experience via three letters of recommendation, detailed quality assurance and recall procedures, delivery logistics, and valid federal and state licenses to sell these products in Rhode Island. All deliveries must be FOB Destination and free of charge. Products are subject to a 60-day inspection and acceptance period upon delivery. Financial terms include vendor-specified payment terms, though the state will withhold a 1% contract administrative fee from all invoice payments. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Ocean State Procures, with initial evaluations based on submissions received by December 22, 2025.
