The United States Marine Corps awarded Knight's Armament Company an indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $25.6 million to provide sound suppressor kits for small arms. The Marine Corps has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders against this contract vehicle between 2020 and 2023 for sound suppressor kits in tan and black colors. Delivery orders have ranged in value from $621,577 to $9.3 million, with periods of performance from 4 months to 2 years. Places of performance have been in Knight's Armament's Titusville, Florida facility.
The originating opportunity notice indicated the Marine Corps' intent to sole source negotiate with Knight's Armament Company for up to 25,853 5.56mm small arms suppressors. The purpose was to maintain interoperability with existing small arms accessories critical for training and combat effectiveness, such as bayonets, sighting devices, and blank firing adapters. No set asides were applied. The indefinite delivery contract and subsequent delivery orders aim to fulfill the Marine Corps' suppressor requirements while avoiding duplication of costs and delays from competition for accessories that must function seamlessly across weapons systems including the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, M4 Carbine, and M4A1 Close Quarter Battle Weapon.
