Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR)

The value of the contract will remain unchanged as CLIN 0005 (PSR System Production) maximum quantity will decrease by the same value. Reference Ammunition (CLIN 0008) increase from 300 rounds to 4,000 rounds. Subject ammunition is required throughout the life of the contract to validate test equipment and results used for acceptance testing of each lot of production ammunition. The Major Subassemblies (CLIN 0011) increase will be primarily used to procure Caliber Conversion kits to meet the Basis of Issue requirements to procure 7.62mm and 300 Win Mag caliber conversion kits for every PSR System. This increase will enable each system to provide the Special Operations Force (SOF) operator with the three caliber capabilities in addition to the base .338 Lapua Magnum capability. 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Contract (H92222-13-D-0003) was awarded after full and open competition. The reference ammunition and conversion kits are unique to the development effort and products under the base contract.

On March 8, 2013, the PSR contract was awarded to Remington for the PSR System, Engineering Services and Provisioning Items Ordering under Full and Open Competition. To support this effort for the Precision Sniper Rifle, sole-source contract negotiations with Remington Arms Company, Inc., 14 Hoefler Ave, Ilion, NY 13357-1616, Cage 3A703, will be conducted. A contract modification will be issued to support this mission critical requirement.
