This may include, but is not limited to, United States (US) designed/manufactured and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sourced, foreign designed/manufactured and OEM sourced, and secondary market sourced obsolete or otherwise out of production hardware. The requirement is primarily for new condition small arms weapons but may also include other conditions (e.g., factory refurbished, functional surplus, remanufactured, etc.). This requirement does not include ammunition or energetics. The Government is seeking vendors to support the acquisition of weapons, silencers/suppressors, spare or repair parts, tools, accessories, optics, gages, and manuals for various NSW as defined on a case-by-case basis. Vendors must possess the capability and documentable experience to fabricate, locate, procure, or otherwise provide these items and deliver them to multiple locations both within the continental United States (CONUS) as well as outside the continental United States (OCONUS), including theaters of conflict.

Interested respondents should provide the following:

1. A brief summary documenting their ability to meet the scope of the requirement as described above; including information on what weapon systems have been previously provided, approximate quantities delivered for roughly how many deliveries, and details on locations of deliveries and customers (UNCLASSIFIED responses only).
2. Identification of licenses and registrations held to legally and effectively conduct business to accomplish the requirement.
3. Experience with the import/export of weapon systems between different OCONUS locations, import of weapons into the US, as well as information on various transportation methods utilized.
