Design and Construction of a Modular 10-Lane Indoor Firearms Training Facility

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is conducting market research through a Request for Information on the design and construction of a modular 10-lane indoor firearms training facility in Northern Virginia, with responses due by August 24, 2026. This is not a solicitation and will not result in contract award based on RFI responses.

The Government seeks industry input on design and engineering costs, modular construction estimates, and range-specific requirements across three configurations: 100-yard, 50-yard, and 25-yard ranges. Required capabilities span complete architectural and engineering design, site preparation, reinforced concrete foundations, structural construction, ballistic walls and ceiling systems, automated target retrieval and control systems, bullet trap systems, OSHA- and NIOSH-compliant lead ventilation, electrical power distribution, communications infrastructure, lighting, fire protection, security systems, range control room, commissioning, operator training, and warranty support. Respondents must demonstrate corporate experience with indoor firearms ranges completed in the past ten years and technical capability for bullet containment systems rated for multiple ammunition types including 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, .308 Winchester, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .300 Blackout, and 12-gauge slug and buckshot.

Responses must include rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates for each range configuration, estimated design and construction schedules from notice to beneficial occupancy, and industry recommendations on acquisition strategy, contract type, technical requirements, risk mitigation, and project phasing. Respondents must provide UEI, CAGE Code, business size classification, socioeconomic status, and relevant federal contract history. The Government anticipates project completion no later than the end of Fiscal Year 2029. Responses are limited to 20 pages excluding brochures and product literature.
