Amendment - To provide .223 Caliber Rifle Packages to United States Park Police.

This contract amendment addresses inquiries regarding the solicitation for .223 caliber rifle packages for the United States Park Police, emphasizing adherence to the specifications of the LWRCI M6 rifle. The Park Police maintain an existing inventory of LWRCI M6 rifles, with all operator and armorer certifications specific to this model, so any proposed rifles must match these specifications exactly. While other manufacturers may be considered, they must guarantee 100% parts interchangeability with the LWRCI M6 and meet all listed requirements such as a free-floated nitride-coated cold-hammer-forged barrel. The solicitation is a HUBZone set-aside, encouraging participation from eligible small businesses in those zones. Quotes in response to this solicitation, number E11PS00410, are due by 3:00 pm EST on April 28, 2011, and must be submitted in writing—telephone requests will not be accepted. Submissions can be sent either by mail or fax to the US Park Police Contract Office and must include confirmation of receipt if faxed. The Department of the Interior’s Contracting Services Division in Denver is responsible for this procurement, and all responsible sources are invited to submit quotes, ensuring a competitive and transparent process.
