Sheriff's Office Firearms Purchase

Ottawa County is soliciting bids under RFP 25-062 for the procurement of duty firearms and accessories for the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office. The scope of work includes the acquisition of 165 Glock 45 MOS Gen5 pistols, six Glock 43X MOS pistols, and six Glock 43 pistols, all of which must be new, first-quality, and fully assembled. Required accessories for these firearms include Ameriglo sights, Holosun LED sights, CNC adapter plates, and Safariland holsters. The project also involves the trade-in of existing firearms, with the vendor responsible for coordinating delivery and managing manufacturer warranties. Delivery is split, with the majority of units due by September 30, 2025, and the remainder due on or after October 1, 2025. Proposals must be submitted via email by July 11, 2025, and must include a signed cover sheet, vendor references, and a detailed pricing response. Award selection is based on best value, evaluating overall price, vendor experience, and past performance with the County. The successful contractor must meet specific insurance requirements, including general liability of at least $1,000,000 and umbrella liability of $2,000,000. The contract is governed by county-specific provisions rather than federal FAR clauses, requiring compliance with the Michigan Economic Sanctions Act and various equal opportunity laws. Payment terms are Net 30, and the County maintains a tax-exempt status.
