Sources Sought - Buttstock Assembly

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a market survey to assess industry interest and capabilities for manufacturing a collapsible buttstock assembly with NSN 1005-01-576-8901 and Part Number 13026046. The procurement falls under the small arms manufacturing sector and requires vendors to demonstrate manufacturing expertise, quality management systems, and production capabilities through a detailed questionnaire. Potential contractors must have access to the Technical Data Package (TDP) with distribution code F, which requires a current DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement. The evaluation will focus on past government manufacturing experience, current production capabilities, lead times, monthly production rates, pricing structures, and quality certifications. Responses must be submitted via email to Ashley Young at ashley.a.young2.civ@army.mil by September 11, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with no telephone responses accepted.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332994 for Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing. The government possesses a complete technical data package for the items, indicating this is likely a follow-on procurement or production requirement for an existing design. No specific contract values, quantities, or production timelines are disclosed in the market survey, as this is purely an information-gathering exercise to identify potential offerors and assess market capacity. The survey is open to both small and large businesses despite the small business set-aside designation, suggesting the government is evaluating all available market sources for planning purposes. No incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, and the government emphasizes that this market research does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee future contract awards.
