Approval of and authorization to execute a contract with Precision Delta Corporation for the purchase of Police duty and practice ammunition
End
Background:
The State of Oklahoma currently has ammunition contracts with five vendors for the purchase of ammunition, which are valid from 02/07/14 to 02/06/2017. Law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Oklahoma are able to purchase ammunition at the state contract price, which is advantageous to the political subdivisions by allowing them to purchase ammunition at a lower price.
Of the five vendors, only two can process the specification/quantity needed in the timeframe by which it’s needed. Those two are Precision Delta and GT Distributors. Precision Delta Corp. has the lowest overall ammunition state contract price. Precision Delta Corp. received the City of Broken Arrow ammunition contract in FY16. All ammunition was received in a timely manner and according to specifications. It should also be noted that Precision Delta will absorb any and all shipping cost which will result in substantial cost savings.
GT Distributors does not carry Winchester ammunition in the calibers needed and has a higher price. GT has also had a repeated issue with not providing products (particularly ammo) in the agreed timeframe.
Funds have previously been appropriated and are currently available in the Police operational budget in the amount of $87,000.00 for the purchase of ammunition (both duty and practice).
Staff recommends approval of the ammunition purchase contract with Precision Delta Corp.
Cost: $86,813.40
