About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a sources sought notice for a Small Arms Tool Kit (SARTK) with National Stock Number 5180-01-670-9469. This market research survey seeks to identify qualified vendors capable of manufacturing the tool kit, with the primary objective of gathering information about potential contractors' capabilities and interest. The government is targeting businesses in the Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332994) and is interested in both small and large businesses. Interested vendors must respond to five specific questions by May 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, including details about commercial availability, minimum sustaining production rates, production lead times, and subcontracting compliance. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to demonstrate technical capabilities, manufacturing experience, and potential to meet the government's requirements for the tool kit.
The sources sought notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the procurement is open to all qualifying businesses. While no specific award value is mentioned, the government anticipates a potential annual requirement of 480+ tool kits over a five-year contract period. The Technical Data Package (TDP) will only be made available if a formal solicitation is subsequently issued, and the government explicitly states that this notice does not guarantee a future contract award. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive information about their manufacturing capabilities, quality management systems, and potential technical challenges in producing the Small Arms Tool Kit. Interested parties should submit their responses via email to Lyndsey Pena at lyndsey.m.pena.civ@army.mil, with a clear focus on demonstrating their company's qualifications and readiness to potentially fulfill this government requirement.
