About this opportunity
The United States Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is soliciting proposals for the procurement of Ejection Port Cover Assemblies (NSN: 1005-00-978-1022, Part No.: 8448525) associated with the 5.56mm M16 rifle series. This solicitation seeks a single, firm-fixed price contract structured as a one-time buy with a 100% option for manufacturing these small arms components. Contractors must obtain Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification to access the export-controlled Technical Data Package, which has Distribution F export control restrictions limiting access to Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only. The procurement requires First Article Testing, Military Packaging Level B with Special Packaging Instructions, and contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The solicitation was issued on June 23, 2025, with proposals due by July 24, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and all questions must be directed to Contract Specialist Ryan Nawrocki via email.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing). The contract calls for manufacturing 46,191 units of the ejection port cover assembly, with delivery timelines of 150 days without First Article Testing or 270 days with First Article Testing after contract award. The Q&A log indicates discussions about whether Colt-manufactured components are mandatory or if alternative manufacturers meeting MIL-SPEC standards are acceptable, though the government has clarified that commercial off-the-shelf variants and polymer materials are not acceptable and steel construction per TDP specifications is required. Items will be delivered to the DLA Distribution Anniston facility in Alabama, and the contract includes comprehensive export control requirements and data destruction protocols upon completion. The solicitation includes provisions for Controlled Unclassified Information handling and requires non-disclosure agreements for accessing proprietary technical data related to Colt's Manufacturing Company's M16 Family of Weapons.
