Imro-VRP rifle replacement

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region is seeking to procure 20 Colt M5 rifles (model CM556-11H-M5S) as part of their IMRO-VRP Rifle Replacement initiative for the Visitor Resource Protection Branch. This Request for Quotation (RFQ No. 140P1325Q0065) requires vendors to provide Colt M5 Carbine 5.56 rifles with 11.5" heavy barrels, weighing 6.3 lbs each, featuring ambidextrous controls, M-LOK free-floating rails, and Troy folding sights. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and must provide detailed technical specifications for the requested firearms. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with quotes due by 12:00 PM ET on August 19, 2025, submitted via email to brian_dankmeyer@nps.gov. The government anticipates awarding the contract within 5 days of receiving offers, with a performance period extending from August 22, 2025, to February 18, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The procurement is limited to Colt Manufacturing rifles exclusively, as mandated by NPS policy outlined in their Law Enforcement Reference Manual, with a brand name justification documented for this requirement. While the exact contract value is not specified, the procurement falls under the threshold requiring posting on sam.gov for acquisitions over $25,000, with references indicating a value up to $50,000. The 20 rifles will be delivered to two locations: 6 units to the Denver Federal Center and 14 units to the Western Arch & Conservation Center in Tucson, Arizona. Successful vendors will have 180 days after order receipt to complete delivery of all requested firearms.
