SB 202609-01 Clay Targets

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the purchase of up to 7,245 cases of 4.25-inch clay targets. The procurement includes two specific varieties: 2,898 cases of White Flyer Pitch AA Orange Dome Targets (or an industry-standard equivalent) and 4,347 cases of White Flyer Blackout Standard Orange Dome Targets (or an industry-standard equivalent). Deliveries must be made to two separate locations in Arkansas: the Rick Evans Grandview Prairie Nature Center Shotgun Range in Columbus and the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation Shooting Sports Complex in Jacksonville. Due to storage constraints, deliveries to the Columbus location must be split into two separate shipments scheduled for January 2027 and early April 2027. All shipments must occur during normal state work hours, follow FOB Destination terms, and include a packing list specifying the purchase order number. Bidders must submit their proposals by the October 27, 2026, deadline via the Beacon Bid portal or through sealed physical submissions. Required documentation includes an official signed bid document, a completed price sheet, and a Contract and Grant Disclosure and Certification Form for contracts exceeding $25,000. Additionally, vendors must provide a hard copy of their Equal Opportunity Policy and, if applicable, certify compliance regarding the employment of illegal immigrants. The contract award will be based on technical specifications, vendor responsibility, and compliance with Arkansas state laws, with all bids considered final and best. Once delivered, the Commission has 30 days to inspect and accept or reject the goods; any non-conforming or damaged items must be replaced immediately at the vendor's expense. Vendors are also required to provide a total satisfaction return policy.
