Section C Descriptions and Specifications

DJA09S000028 SECTION C

Department of Justice

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives

New Weapons System

STATEMENT OF WORK

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF) is a principal law enforcement agency within the Department of Justice dedicated to reducing violent crime, preventing terrorism and protecting our Nation.

The men and women of ATF perform the dual responsibilities of enforcing Federal criminal laws and regulating the firearms and explosives industries. The combined efforts of special agents and industry operations investiga-tors allows ATF to effectively identify, investigate and recommend for prosecution violators of Federal firearms and explosives laws; additionally, their teamwork enables ATF to ensure that licensees are operating within es-tablished laws and regulations. We are committed to pursuing our mission by working both independently and through partnerships with industry and other Federal, State, local and international law enforcement agencies.

DEFINITION OF NEED

ATF has determined a need for a new family of service issued .40-caliber handguns that incorporate current state of the art features and technology. ATF issues two (2) handguns to each sworn agent: a standard size duty weapon for enforcement operations and a compact model for backup and auxiliary needs. These two handguns must be identical in function and design for commonality of training and logistics. Each weapon will include six

(6) magazines, an operator's manual written in English, and a gun lock in accordance with Department of Jus-tice policy. The weapon shall be delivered in a hard plastic box designed to protect the contents against damage during transportation.

At ATF’s discretion the agency may award one or multiple contracts after evaluating Offerors’ proposals. Con-tract will be a firm fixed price IDIQ. Contract period is one base year and a potential of nine (9) option years.

Approximate maximum value of the contract is $40 million per award. The contract will be open to all federal agencies.

The specifications sought by ATF for the new weapon system are as follows:

General Features Service Life

1. All handguns delivered under the contract must be new and unused. All individual components must be new and unused.

2. Handguns must be capable of firing 20,000 rounds of ATF-approved duty and/or training ammunition (including frangible and non-toxic ammunition) without failure of any major component (frame, slide, barrel) when factory recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures are followed. Current ATF-approved duty ammunition is Speer 165gr Gold Dot (part number 53947) and current ATF-approved training ammunition is Speer Lawman 125gr RHT (part number 53375).

3. Manufacturer must provide a written warranty to 20,000 rounds or ten years, whichever comes first. The warranty need not extend to handguns damaged through catastrophic conditions or abuse. The warranty shall extend to full replacement of any handgun or magazine delivered under this contract which, upon initial inspection, does not meet all specifications herein. The manufacturer must bear all costs incurred for the ship-ping of any items being repaired or replaced under warranty.

4. Preference will be given to warranties above 20,000 rounds.

5. Manufacturer must provide at no cost to ATF all recommended maintenance parts to maintain each hand-gun to a 20,000 round service life.

6. Manufacturer will repair or replace any part or complete gun that suffers part breakage or consistent docu-mented failure to function with 100% safety and reliability except for damage caused through catastrophic con-ditions or abuse. It will be at ATF’s sole discretion whether to repair or replace and whether individual parts or the complete handgun will be subject to repair or replacement.

7. Service intervals must be no less than 2,500 rounds. Preference for service intervals no less than 5,000 rounds.

Frame

1. Must be polymer.

2. Must have integral accessory rail for attachment of common law enforcement weapon mounted tactical lights.

3. Edges of the entrance of the magazine well must be beveled. There is a preference for a flared magazine well.

Grip Area

1. External surfaces of the grips must provide non-slip texture for maximum grip control during rapid fire.

There is a preference for optional alternative grip textures available from the manufacturer (samples must be provided for evaluation).

2. Grip area must accommodate a wide range of shooter hand sizes while affording proper access to the trig-ger, magazine release, and slide catch lever. Preference for multiple integral grip size configurations (e.g., re-placeable back straps).

Slide

1. Must have serrations or similar gripping feature on both right and left side allowing retraction of the slide without the shooter’s hand contacting or obstructing the ejection port.

2. Preference against slide/gripping serrations forward of the ejection port.

Barrel

1. Must be chambered in caliber .40 S&W. All chamber and barrel specifications must conform to the ort- Sping Arms & Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute specifications for .40 S&W barrels.

2. Must not be compensated or ported.

3. Must withstand firing a live round of ATF-approved duty ammunition when a bullet is lodged one inch forward of the chamber (barrel obstruction test).

Assembly/Disassembly

1. Agent level field strip/cleaning

a. Handgun and magazines must be composed of parts which cannot be readily assembled incorrectly in such a manner as to render the handgun or magazine inoperable or otherwise compromise reliability.

b. Handgun and magazines must allow field stripping and reassembly for routine cleaning/maintenance with-out the use of specially designed tools.

c. It is preferred that the handgun be capable of being field stripped for cleaning/maintenance without the need to actuate the trigger.

2. Armorer level detail disassembly

a. Handgun must be capable of being completely disassembled without the use of any special tools except those provided by the manufacturer as part of an Armorer Tool Kit.

b. All parts must be interchangeable such that no hand fitting is necessary.

c. Preference for ability to detail disassemble slide without removing the sights.
