Per RFP 27-029 (closed Aug. 14, 2026); award not verified.
City RFP 27-029 (Police Department, July-Aug. 2026) is brand-name-only for Glock 17 Gen 6 handguns, alongside Glock 17T MOS Gen5 training guns and AR-15-type 5.56 short-barrel rifles (rifle maker not named, so no rifle entry), with surplus rifles and handguns traded in. The RFP doesn't say how the pistols are assigned; the duty role is inferred from a police handgun buy matched with Glock 17 training guns. Source is a GovCB copy of the RFP, so Reliable secondary.
