Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc.

Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer based in Christiana, Tennessee, supplies precision long-range sniper rifle systems, advanced small arms, and associated spare parts and accessories to the Department of Defense and allied federal agencies as a prime contractor on sole-source indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes on full-and-open vehicles carrying no set-aside designation, reflecting its specialized manufacturing position as the sole qualified source for its weapons systems.

Barrett's federal footprint concentrates heavily on Army small arms modernization through the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier office, which anchors the majority of the company's dollar value. The top five customer organizations by potential-value share account for 90% of combined potential value, led by PEO Soldier with 28 awards valued at $118 million, followed by the United States Special Operations Command with 17 awards valued at $63.9 million, and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal with 4 awards valued at $33.3 million. By award count, the Department of the Army dominates with 70 awards at $25.3 million combined potential value, alongside TACOM Life Cycle Management Command with 30 awards at $20.5 million and PEO Soldier as noted. The two rankings diverge sharply — PEO Soldier places fewer orders but anchors the largest dollar commitments, while the Army's broader footprint reflects multiple smaller procurement actions.

Barrett holds five principal indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) generating the bulk of task-order volume. The contract W15QKN21D0028, a $49.98 million sole-source IDC awarded to PEO Soldier in March 2021 for Multi-Role Adaptive Rifle (MRAD) systems and MK22 Advanced Sniper Rifles, supports 40 task orders valued at $56.4 million combined potential value. A second PEO Soldier IDC, W15QKN24D0029, valued at $14,999,500 and awarded in September 2024, focuses on M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle variants, spare parts, accessories, and training services. Contract W15QKN19D0009, a $49.98 million single-award IDC, generates 18 task orders worth $12.3 million. Additional vehicles include H9240319D0002 with 14 task orders at $13.9 million and W15QKN11D0197 with 14 task orders at $6.3 million. Delivery orders drawn from these vehicles carry firm fixed-price terms and typically range from $20 thousand to $13.5 million, supporting Project Manager Soldier Lethality's mission across Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command.

Representative recent prime awards include a $13.5 million delivery order from the Department of the Army (September 2025) for advanced sniper rifle systems and related components under the PEO Soldier IDIQ, a $7.3 million delivery order from the U.S. Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (March 2025) for sniper rifle systems and spare parts, a $1.8 million delivery order from PEO Soldier (January 2025) for MRAD systems and MK22 Advanced Sniper Rifles, and a $1.07 million delivery order from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (March 2024) for barrel and bolt assemblies. Foreign military sales (FMS) delivery orders total approximately $2.1 million across recent awards.

Capability concentration aligns with the weapons portfolio: Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (NAICS 332995) accounts for 170 awards, Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing (NAICS 332212) accounts for 92 awards—reflecting aftermarket accessory kits, suppressors, barrel kits, and tool assemblies—with Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing and Other Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing completing the remainder. Primary Service Code 1005 (Guns, Through 30Mm) covers 138 awards, with PSC 5140 (Tool And Hardware Boxes) addressing storage and organizational components at 92 awards.

Activity has declined materially year over year: 18 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 3 in the first quarter of 2026. Combined potential value stands at $291.1 million with $153.5 million obligated (53% funding ratio). Only 4 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $14.7 million, indicating a modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio. The company's federal revenue base sits primarily on the Army's two large PEO Soldier IDCs and on Special Operations Command's multi-year ASR production ordering schedule; both vehicles run through 2026–2029, anchoring a stable but moderately declining transaction pipeline.
