AI Contract Overview

The USP&FO-GA is seeking to acquire training munitions simulators and conversion kits specifically for the M16, M4, M9, and M249 weapons systems under a sole source procurement. This approach is justified because all 11B infantry instructors currently certified to use these kits have been trained exclusively on UTM products, which are already approved and supported with ammo readily available at Ft Stewart, Georgia. The requirement is for services related to these simulators, with the government intending to negotiate exclusively with a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Although this notice is not a competitive solicitation, the government invites interested parties to express their interest or submit proposals by the stated deadline. Responses must be submitted by September 19, 2012, at 2:00 PM EST, and all inquiries are to be directed in writing to the Contracting Officer, with no telephone inquiries permitted. The government has discretion over whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on the responses received. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 332992 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s USPFO Activity GA ARNG office located in Marietta, Georgia. The effort ensures continued consistency in training and certification standards for infantry instructors using these specific munitions simulators.
