Limited Competition Justification Redacted.pdf

This Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau is for a Small Arms Ammunition procurement for the Army National Guard Marksmanship Training Center. The document seeks a single-source procurement of ammunition for National Guard Marksman Team competitive events, with a firm fixed price contract under O&M Army funding. The specific ammunition requirements are based on historical use, procurement experience, and the need for precise ammunition types that have been tested and identified as optimal for specific training and competitive weapons.

The procurement is being conducted under 41 USC 1901 with a limited competitive environment, as the National Guard Marksmanship Training Center (NGMTC) has determined these specific ammunition products are the only ones meeting their exact training and competition requirements. The contracting officer, Ralph Grinnell, is coordinating the procurement through the USAF AR P&C, with the requiring activity being the ARNG Marksmanship Training Unit. The document indicates ongoing market research to assess potential future sources and maintain competition awareness in the ammunition market.
