MPA 31 Firearms, Ammunition and Less-Lethal Equipment

The State of Rhode Island is establishing an Open Enrollment Master Price Agreement (MPA), solicitation number OEV26005883, to procure firearms, ammunition, less-lethal equipment, and related products for state agencies and eligible entities. The scope of work is divided into nine lots, including firearms, ammunition, restraints, batons, holsters, conducted electrical weapons, less-lethal gases, and firearm optics. This is an open enrollment contract where pricing is not submitted during the initial solicitation phase; instead, approved vendors will provide their best pricing and applicable manufacturer discounts to agencies on an as-needed basis at the time of purchase. Vendors are evaluated on a pass/fail basis across several criteria, including delivery ability, quality assurance programs, warranty and recall procedures, and the provision of at least three letters of recommendation or client references. To qualify, bidders must provide valid federal and state licenses, specifically certifying compliance with Rhode Island General Laws regarding the sale and distribution of ammunition. All deliveries are required to be FOB destination and free of charge unless otherwise approved. Once delivered, products are subject to a 60-day inspection and acceptance period to ensure they are factory new and free from defects. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Austin Goodness.
