RFI 2 - Small Arms Tool Kit (NSN: 5180-01-670-9469)

The U.S. Army, Detroit Arsenal through the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) and market research survey to assess vendor capabilities for the procurement of a Small Arms Tool Kit (NSN: 5180-01-670-9469, Part No. 0631A0000/59678). This market research initiative is designed to gather information regarding vendor qualifications, capabilities, and interest in providing this equipment to support potential future acquisition planning. Interested contractors, both small and large businesses, must demonstrate their ability to manufacture the tool kit, conduct product verification testing, and provide competitive pricing. The government is seeking responses to a detailed questionnaire covering vendor profile, business type, manufacturing capabilities, production rates, technical considerations, and quantity-based pricing structures. Responses must be submitted via email to lyndsey.m.pena.civ@army.mil no later than Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. It is important to note that this is a planning exercise only and does not constitute a commitment by the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designations and identifies no incumbent contractors. The government anticipates potential procurement of up to 2,269 tool kits in the first year, with an estimated demand of 500 units per year for each of four subsequent years. The Product Service Code is 5180 (Sets, Kits, and Outfits of Hand Tools), and the applicable NAICS category is 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing). Vendors are encouraged to indicate their ability to provide quantity-based price breaks and to specify the threshold at which such breaks would apply. The government is interested in understanding both minimum and maximum production rates of prospective vendors to assess market capacity and capability for this procurement.
