About this opportunity
U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island, Picatinny Arsenal, intends to issue a competitive RFP for production of M1041 9mm marking cartridges, with formal solicitation anticipated on or about September 17, 2026. No set-aside applies to this procurement. A single award is anticipated.
The M1041 is a reduced-energy, non-lethal cartridge designed for use with the Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK), a user-installed temporary weapon conversion system that allows firing from M9 and M11 pistols, M4 Carbine, and eventual M17 and M18 Modular Handgun Systems at minimum engagement distances of five feet. The marking rounds (blue/red) dispense a bright, water-soluble color marking compound upon impact that does not penetrate Army Combat Uniform or Personal Protective Equipment, enabling accurate assessment of simulated lethality and shot placement.
Manufacture, inspection, testing, and delivery shall comply with the U.S. Government-owned Detailed Performance Specification marked Distribution D; the specification will not be provided at pre-solicitation stage. The contractor bears responsibility for all materials, equipment (except Government Furnished Property if utilized), hard tooling, personnel, and facilities necessary for manufacturing and delivery.
Deliveries are required within 24 months after contract award. The procurement falls under NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and PSC 1305 (Ammunition, Through 30mm).
