DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department currently offers its sworn members the choice of being issued
a Glock 22 (40 caliber) pistol or a Glock 21 (45 ACP) pistol. Recently, training Division staff, as
part of continual equipment evaluation, conducted research into the pistols and calibers being
issued at the Police Department. As a result of the research, staff determined that technological
advances in the 9mm cartridge have resulted in a pistol round that is not only more effective than
the 40 caliber round, but at a reduced cost. By switching to the 9mm cartridge, and the Glock 17
9mm pistol, the Police Department can realize an approximate annual ammunition savings of
$34,000. Additionally, the Police Department will receive a trade-in credit for Glock 22 handguns
to offset the costs associated with the transition. By staying with the Glock handgun, the Police
Department will be saving on the associated costs of holsters and magazine pouches since they
are the same as what has previously been issued.

The solicitation called for qualified vendors to submit a bid for 342 new Glock Model 17 handguns
as well as offer an in-store credit for 342 used handguns that are approximately five years old.
The bid received from Proforce Marketing, Inc. is responsive to the specifications and meets the
City's requirements. The bid pricing for the 342 new Glock handguns is $131,556, when
combined with the trade-in credit value of $94,392 makes the balance due for the new Glock 17's
$37,165, which offers the best value to the City.
Outreach Efforts
A search of local Santa Ana vendors providing Glock handguns to law enforcement was
conducted and produced no results.
