SECTION C - STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the federal government's principal agency responsible for investigating violations of more than 260 Federal statutes. As an investigative arm of the Unites States Department of Justice, FBI personnel, in the execution of their responsibilities, may be involved in high threat assignments where deadly force may be used in the face of violent confrontations.

In direct support of training and operational activities the FBI has a need to acquire a breaching shotgun. The breaching shotgun is required for FBI tactical teams to provide forced entry capabilities for numerous mission sets, including emergency hostage rescue and active shooter response. The breaching shotgun is necessary in crisis response situations requiring a rapid fail-safe breach.

C.2 SCOPE

C.2.2 Provide replacement parts to include standard and non-standard parts manufactured or provided by the Contractor of the breaching shotguns.

C.2.3 Deliver within 60 days after receipt of order. Deliveries shall be shipped FOB Destination to all FBI (and other approved Federal government) locations within the continental United States (CONUS), as well as Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

C.3.6 The shotgun must include magazines in various capacities of up to 10 rounds.

C.3.7 The overall length of the shotgun before attachments must be 24” or less. No portion of the shotgun must extend beyond the muzzle.

C.3.8 The unloaded weight of the shotgun must be 8 lbs or less.

C.3.9 The shotgun must have integrated rails with ability to mount a single point sling attachment into the receiver of the weapon.

C.3.10 The shotgun must have a trigger weight of 5.5 lbs or more.

C.3.11 The shotgun must be made in the USA – no imported weapons.

C.3.12 The shotgun must be available for delivery in 2023.

C.3.13 The shotgun barrel must be able to accept a threaded muzzle break (notched, self- centering tip for cutting chain, rebar, cable, etc.…)

C.3.14 The Offeror must provide a warranty for a minimum of 2,000 rounds.

C.3.15 It is preferred, but not required, that the breaching shotgun include a Quick Response (QR) Code on the lower receiver. The QR Code must contain the breaching shotgun serial number only. Offeror’s which do not provide a submission with a QR Code will not be penalized.

C.3.16 Offeror must be capable of supplying the entire quantity of breaching shotguns.

C.6 AUTHORIZED BUYERS

C.7 REPORTS

C.7.1 Contractor shall provide quarterly reports, to the Contracting Officer, within ten (10) calendar days of the end of the quarter [Jan-Mar/Apr-Jun/Jul-Sep/Oct-Dec] during which supplies were ordered. The report shall include:
