Firearm pistol slides for OJS

The Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services is procuring 665 fully assembled optics-ready upper slides to upgrade their duty pistols, consisting of 425 Glock 17 Gen 5 slides and 240 Glock 19 Gen 5 slides, along with matching Trijicon RMR-HD footprint mounting kits. The procurement seeks precision-milled slides made of 17-4 stainless steel with black nitride matte finish, compatible with Trijicon RMR-HD optics and featuring lowered ejection ports and front/rear serrations. While this is specified as a brand-name-only procurement for Trijicon RMR-HD components, the government will consider alternative Gen 5 optics-ready upper slides that meet the specified requirements. The contract will be awarded using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest total evaluated price. Quotes are due by August 27, 2025, at 11:00 EDT, with all quoters required to submit pricing for all line items and provide brand name verification through manufacturer product cut sheets or signed certification.

This procurement is 100% set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) under NAICS code 332994 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price purchase order, though specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation. All 665 items must be delivered within 60 calendar days after contract award to the BIA Office of Justice Services facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The procurement aims to improve officer accuracy, safety, and operational readiness by upgrading the department's existing 665 non-MOS (Machine Optics System) slides with high-precision optics-ready capabilities. The government conducted market research identifying 27 Native American-owned small businesses in the relevant manufacturing category and commits to future market research to potentially expand competition for similar requirements.
