The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection plans to procure 50 units of the HK69A1 40 mm grenade launchers from Heckler and Koch, Inc. through a sole source simplified acquisition process, indicating no competitive solicitation is issued. Although this is not a formal request for competitive proposals, interested parties are invited to notify the contract specialist within 15 days of the announcement to express interest. The government retains sole discretion on whether to pursue competitive procurement based on the responses received, and this notice serves only to gather information pertinent to that decision.

While the specific place of performance is not detailed, the contracting office is located in Williston, Vermont.
