About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) document supporting a Sources Sought announcement for nonfunctional training weapons in M4 and M14 configurations issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC). The RFI seeks market research to identify potential sources capable of providing training devices designed to replicate the form, fit, and basic mechanical manipulation of duty-style weapons without firearm functionality. These devices are classified as nonweapon devices and are engineered with permanent physical obstructions and structural geometries that explicitly prevent conversion into functional weapons, ensuring they are not regulated as firearms by the ATF or state authorities.
The training weapons are intended to support hands-on instruction in basic weapon handling, takedown and reassembly, cleaning procedures, and general familiarization and confidence handling. Respondents are required to complete the attached RFI document along with review of the Salient Characteristics and Statement of Work documents dated July 18, 2026. As this is a pre-solicitation sources sought announcement, no solicitation has been issued at this time, and this announcement represents market research activity only. Interested sources should provide information demonstrating their capability to deliver M4 and M14 style nonfunctional training devices that meet the specified safety, design, and regulatory compliance requirements.
