STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Firing Range Services

1. BACKGROUND:

All U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers authorized and issued appropriate credentials and permitted to carry firearms must maintain at least the minimum level of marksmanship and re-qualify four times a year. In addition, it is mandatory that all CBP officers authorized and permitted to carry firearms participate in Use of Force Training (UOF) established by the Firearms and Tactical Training Division. Use of Force Training will be conducted by the UOF staff every requalification period.

Currently, the CBP Port of San Luis does not have a government owned firearms facility and must employ private firearms facilities in order to comply with the firearms training requirement. The CBP Port of San Luis will need an appropriate commercial firearms facility for weapons qualification and training.

2. SCOPE:

The purpose of this procurement is to secure the exclusive use of a commercial firing range facility that will effectively support the U.S. Customs and Border (CBP) official firearms training and recertification program. The requirements and capabilities of the firing range shall be as outlined in this Statement of Work (SOW), and the firing range shall be utilized by CBP personnel only. Any other use by CBP personnel (off-duty/not on duty) is strictly prohibited and not authorized for payment or other usage under the terms and conditions of this SOW and any potential contract resulting thereof.
