The resulting award has a 5-year ordering period, with a contract minimum value of $25,000.00 and a contract maximum value of $25,000,000.00.

This acquisition is under North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) 332994 - Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing. Delivery terms are FOB Destination. Inspection and Acceptance will be Destination, NSWC Crane.

This effort will be conducted on a sole-source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The basis for restricting competition is that all specifications for the end item and piece parts are company proprietary and the Government has not purchased any data rights, duplicate cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through another source. This synopsis is issued to advertise the five year FFP IDIQ contract and requirements that will be met through orders placed against the contract for a five-year period from the Government. Since this is a sole source procurement a solicitation will not be posted to the internet.
