Commission awards seized-weapons surplus sale to Bullseye’s at $40,333.22
Summary
The commission approved sale of seized weapons and related items to Bullseye's Gun Range for $40,333.22, selecting that offer over lower bids on grounds explained by staff.
Rutherford County commissioners approved the sale of seized weapons, ammo cans, ammunition, gun cases, magazines and posters to Bullseye’s Gun Range of Murfreesboro for $40,333.22.
Purchasing staff reported three bids for the surplus weapons package: Bullseye’s Gun Range ($40,332.22 as announced in the record), King’s Firearms (Columbia) and Craig’s Storms and Supply (Knoxville) with the lowest bid from Craig’s but staff recommended accepting Bullseye’s offer. Commissioners questioned why the county did not accept the lowest bidder; staff stated they recommended Bullseye’s based on criteria the county applied to the sale (not detailed in the meeting excerpt) and moved to approve the sale.
The commission approved the recommendation on a roll-call vote with those present voting yes. Staff will proceed with sale paperwork as recommended.
