Carl-Gustaf (CG) M4 Indoor Trainer (IDT) Gunnery Unit

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is procuring one Carl-Gustaf M4 Indoor Trainer (IDT) Gunnery Unit through a brand-name only acquisition to support the Special Warfare Training Group at Fort Liberty, North Carolina. This specialized training device will enable students to conduct high-quality repetitive weapon system training without exposure to dangerous physical effects from live fire exercises, ultimately improving operational proficiency while reducing live ammunition usage. The solicitation requires a complete training system including a weapon replica, simulated dual sight, batteries, battery charger, gunnery computer, wireless headset, training ammunition, and up to ten pre-defined training scenarios, along with a user manual in English. Additionally, the contractor must provide New Equipment Training consisting of one day of onsite preparation and three days of instructor-led training for up to ten attendees. Technical evaluation will be conducted on a pass/no-pass basis, with quotes evaluated on technical acceptability, delivery timeline, and pricing, with the final due date of June 20, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. EST.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Market research identified two potential sources: Saab, Inc. and BlueHalo, LLC, with BlueHalo having previously responded to a Sources Sought notice with a white paper demonstrating their Carl-Gustaf prototype development capabilities. The contract will be a firm-fixed price arrangement for the single training unit, funded through FY25 P-11 Operations and Maintenance funds, though the specific contract value is not disclosed in the available documents. The training system must be man-portable and capable of both classroom and field operations with quick setup capabilities. Performance will take place at the US Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), North Carolina, where the unit will serve approximately 188 students within the USSOCOM enterprise.
