About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the United States Marine Corps announces their intent to sole source a contract with Knight's Armament Company for small arms suppressors. The Marine Corps Systems Command seeks to negotiate with Knight's Armament Company for up to 25,853 5.56mm small arms suppressors to be used on weapons systems including the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, M4 Carbine, and M4A1 Close Quarter Battle Weapon.
The purpose of the sole source award is to enable continued use of existing accessories critical to training and combat effectiveness, including bayonets and sighting devices, which are interoperable with Knight's Armament Company's suppressors. Interested parties have until July 24, 2020 to submit capability statements, pricing, and manufacturing information for consideration, though award remains at the Government's discretion. The suppressors will fulfill the Marine Corps' requirements while avoiding substantial duplication of costs and delays that would result from competition. The point of contact listed can provide additional details to interested contractors.
Notice text
The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source (FAR 6302.1 (a)(2)(ii)),based on substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Knight’s Armament Company (KAC) for 5.56mm Small Arms Suppressors to be used on the following weapon systems: M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR), M4 Carbine and M4A1 Close Quarter Battle Weapon. The KAC Small Arms Suppressor will enable the USMC to continue to use their existing bayonets, as well as their existing Small Arms Collimators (SAC), Laser Boresights (LBS), and Blank Firing Adapters (BFA), all of which are critical to accuracy and lethality in both training and combat. These items are interoperable with the current Small Arms Suppressor.
