Mancom Touch Plus Carriers

The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Action Target for seven Mancom Touch Plus Carriers. This is not a request for competitive proposals, as FLETC plans to negotiate directly with Action Target under FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisition of commercial items. The procurement is valued under $150,000 and falls under NAICS code 332999 (All Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, with provisions and clauses effective through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-04. The notice was posted on July 15, 2025, with a response deadline of July 17, 2025.

The primary purpose of this acquisition is to replace worn-out parts for existing target retrieval systems used across 96 firing points in four indoor ranges at FLETC facilities. Action Target is identified as the only responsible source capable of providing compatible replacement parts, as they originally built the firing ranges and their Mancom retrieval systems have demonstrated unique safety capabilities for firearms training courses. The cable-driven retrieval system features modular touch pads, 360-degree target turning, user programs, and advanced LED lighting that must be compatible with current target systems. While this is a sole source procurement, interested parties may submit technical data and cost information by the July 17, 2025 deadline to demonstrate their capability to provide the same product. The government reserves the right to consider all capability statements received and may determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice.
