Sources Sought for Firing Range

The Department of Homeland Security's United States Secret Service (USSS) is conducting market research to lease an indoor firearms training facility within 50 miles of their Washington, DC headquarters. The agency seeks a comprehensive range capable of supporting extensive firearms training and certification for USSS employees, with specific requirements including four ranges totaling 42 lanes, multiple classrooms, a two-floor simunitions-capable shoot house, and a control tactics mat room. The facility must accommodate exclusive use two days per week with potential surge days for training, and support various ammunition types including 9mm, .357 Sig, .300 Winchester Magnum, .308, and 5.56x45mm. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit capability statements by February 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET to matthew.sutton@usss.dhs.gov. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to meet the detailed technical specifications and facility requirements outlined in the solicitation.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. The contemplated contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with one base year and nine option years, categorized under NAICS code 531120 for Commercial Building Rental or Leasing. While specific award value is not disclosed, the comprehensive facility requirements suggest a significant investment in specialized training infrastructure. The facility must feature walled shooting bays separated by ballistic glass, moveable targets, individual bay controllers, and capabilities for advanced training techniques including Pistol Red Dot and Night Vision training. The extensive range of requirements and potential long-term contract duration indicate the USSS is seeking a robust, long-term partnership with a facility that can comprehensively support their training and certification needs.
