About this opportunity

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is seeking to procure up to 200 .308 Winchester Designated Marksman/Observer Rifle systems through a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Fixed Price contract. The agency requires a semi-automatic precision rifle with specific technical specifications, including a 1 MOA accuracy at 300 yards, ambidextrous controls, and a direct impingement gas system. Key technical requirements include a two-stage adjustable trigger, M-Lok handguard with Picatinny rail, quick-detach suppressor capability, and a minimum service life of 5,000 rounds. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet stringent reliability standards, with rifles required to function for 1,000 rounds between failures. Responses to the Sources Sought notice are due by February 20, 2025, at 12pm EST, and the DEA will use these submissions to determine whether the procurement will be set aside for small businesses or conducted through full and open competition.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation at this time, with the potential for small business participation pending vendor responses. There is no incumbent contractor, as this represents a new procurement for the DEA. While a specific award value is not disclosed, the contract anticipates purchasing up to 200 rifle systems over five years, with each rifle requiring two 20-round MagPul magazines and accompanying accessories. The procurement will be categorized under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and PSC code 1005 (Guns, Through 30Mm). Additional contract requirements include comprehensive training for 20 DEA armorers at the Quantico Academy and an optional 5-year warranty. Vendors must also provide supporting equipment such as cleaning kits and transport cases, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to meeting the DEA's specialized firearms procurement needs.
