About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract for FN duty rifle replacement barrels with factory-installed Dead Air CT5 suppressor assemblies for the Law Enforcement & Investigations office; responses demonstrating capability and competitive interest are due by September 4, 2026 at 0800 Eastern Time. The Forest Service determined that only one responsible source can satisfy requirements for manufacturer-matched FN components, as LEI rifles currently in service utilize FN-manufactured lower receivers and replacement barrels must be FN components to ensure proper fit, compatibility, safety, and compliance with agency armorer and platform specifications. The procurement will proceed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 6.302-1. Interested parties may submit responses providing clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government; the Government will evaluate submitted information solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement and retains sole discretion to proceed with sole source award or initiate competition. No reimbursement will be provided for response costs.
