SOCOM Unique Munitions Requirements (SUMR) Amendment to H9243023R0002 for opportunity on-board additional vendors (THIS IS NOT A NEW REQUIREMENT)

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is seeking to amend its existing Unique Munitions Requirements (SUMR) contract to on-board additional vendors for supplying specialized small caliber ammunition. The solicitation covers a multi-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for procuring various munitions including commercial off-the-shelf, modified, and government-specified ammunition types ranging from 5.56mm to .338 caliber. Vendors must meet rigorous evaluation criteria, demonstrating manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise, and quality control standards with a critical non-conformance escape risk goal of 1 in a million items delivered. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical acceptability, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. The current amendment deadline is April 22, 2025, with vendors required to provide comprehensive technical proposals, past performance documentation, and evidence of appropriate Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) licensing.

The contract has no specific set-aside designation and will be open to qualified vendors meeting SOCOM's stringent requirements. The contract has a maximum ceiling of $750,000,000 and runs for ten years, spanning from July 22, 2023 to July 21, 2033, with a minimum guaranteed contract value of $2,500. Delivery orders will be issued on a firm-fixed-price basis using a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) process, with deliveries primarily targeting the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky. The solicitation covers approximately 30 different ammunition types, including specialized rounds like stunners, breaching rounds, and combat/training ammunition across various calibers. Vendors will be responsible for supplying munitions and providing detailed technical specification conformance data, which may include complex testing documentation such as Electronic Pressure Velocity and Action Time (EPVAT), dispersion testing, radar analysis, drop testing, and terminal ballistics information. The place of performance is listed as Tampa, FL 33621, with contract administration managed by the United States Special Operations Command.
