Small Arms Ammunition for the Arkansas Army National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit

The Arkansas Army National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit is procuring 3,000 rounds of Hornady 6 ARC 108gr #81608 rifle ammunition through a Request for Quotations (RFQ W912JF-25-Q-A007). This is a brand name requirement with no substitutions authorized, as the specific ammunition has been determined acceptable through historical use by the National Guard Marksmanship Team for training and competitive events. The procurement is being conducted as a single-source acquisition under the authority of 41 USC 1901 and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The government will award a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror providing the most advantageous quotation based on evaluation factors including price, quality, past performance, and delivery date. Quotations must be submitted by 7:00 AM CDT on August 22, 2025, with an expected award date of August 29, 2025, and vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) while including a statement accepting the solicitation's terms and conditions.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,300 employees. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, as this appears to be a single-source brand name procurement directly for Hornady ammunition. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the procurement involves a relatively modest quantity of 3,000 rounds of specialized rifle ammunition. The delivery location is specified as Building 318, Louisiana Ave, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72199, with the place of performance listed as North Little Rock, AR.
