About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration is seeking to procure an AR10-Pattern Suppressed Precision Weapon System chambered in .308 Winchester through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. The solicitation requires a newly developed semi-automatic precision rifle system that includes a suppressor, magazines, cleaning kit, and associated accessories to support multiple Department of Justice agencies including the DEA, FBI, and US Marshals Service. Offerors must submit six sample weapon systems for extensive technical evaluation that will assess physical characteristics, accuracy, functionality, user assessment, and reliability through multiple phases of rigorous testing. The government intends to award a single five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to the responsible offeror providing the best value, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price in the evaluation. The deadline for questions was July 25, 2025, and proposals are due August 29, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST, with all submissions required electronically to specified DEA contracting personnel.
This procurement is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), restricting competition to eligible small businesses registered in the System for Award Management. No current incumbent or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The contract structure includes a base period and four potential one-year option periods, with a minimum guarantee of $48,000 and a maximum ceiling value of $15 million. Offerors must provide detailed technical proposals, price proposals, past performance information, and submit proposals on an all-or-none basis with no alternate proposals accepted. The place of performance is specified as Quantico, Virginia, and the government has issued multiple amendments clarifying technical requirements, extending deadlines, and providing answers to industry questions throughout the solicitation process.
