Statement of Work (SOW)

CBP Simulation Marking Cartridges

PR20123528

1. BACKGROUND: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and

Border Protection (CBP) has a requirement for simulation marking and non-marking cartridges, blank cartridges, weapon conversion kits, and magazines for use in scenario-based use of force training.

CBP currently deploys simulation training platforms that are built upon the General Dynamics Simunition based system. This includes Glock produced training handguns, General Dynamics M4 Upper Conversion Kits, and General Dynamics Simunitions projectiles and blank cartridges. CBP has made a significant investment, both in the acquisition of these platforms and the development of training that revolves around these specific use of force training projectiles. The requirements within this document support CBP’s desire to maintain consistency while supporting the financial investment that has already been made in this training platform.

2. SCOPE: This Statement of Work delineates the required performance criteria for simulated marking cartridges, non-marking cartridges, blank cartridges, and associated weapon conversion kits and magazines, for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as other components within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The technical requirements for the simulation marking and non-marking cartridges, blank cartridges, weapons conversion kits, and magazines to be acquired under this solicitation, are specified in section 4 of this solicitation.
