Ballistic Instrumentation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract to High Pressure Instrumentation of Graz, Austria, for the supply, installation, and training related to specialized ballistic instrumentation systems. This procurement, identified under solicitation SHOP-PR-26-001612, is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to HPI’s unique and non-replaceable capability to provide an integrated ballistic measurement solution with interoperable software that meets the FBI’s operational requirements for forensic testing across facilities. The work will be performed entirely at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and the contract is structured as a one-time acquisition with no option periods or incremental task orders. Responses are due by July 15, 2026, at 11:00 am CST and must be submitted electronically to Holly Cloud at hcloud@fbi.gov, with all vendors required to maintain an active SAM.gov registration including current UEI, CAGE code, and EFT information. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, or performance schedules are provided in the notice, as this is a pre-solicitation announcement intended solely to notify the public of the planned sole-source action. The agency has not specified inspection criteria, packaging standards, FOB terms, or security clearance requirements, and while the NAICS code 334513 applies, detailed technical specifications remain outside the scope of this notice. Payment and invoicing procedures will follow standard FBI financial protocols through SAM.gov-registered EFT systems, and acceptance of deliverables will be conducted by the government at the performance site.
