The FBI issued Request for Information (RFI) 15F06726PNBA01 on April 30, 2026, seeking input from firearm manufacturers to inform a potential future solicitation for duty and training pistols. The RFI, managed by the FBI at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is a non-binding market research tool under FAR 15.202(e) and does not establish any contractual obligations or award outcomes. Responses are due by June 10, 2026, and must be submitted via email to Brian Ames at bames@fbi.gov. Companies are asked to provide detailed technical capabilities, including compliance with mandatory requirements such as 9mm Luger caliber, semi-automatic striker-fired operation, reliability of no more than one stoppage per 2,000 rounds, accuracy within 4.00 inches at 25 meters using FBI-standard ammunition, and functionality across extreme temperatures from -40°F to +140°F. Additional technical parameters include a trigger pull weight of 4.5 to 6.0 pounds, a minimum service life of 20,000 rounds, ambidextrous controls, a 17-round standard magazine with color-coded followers and baseplates, and compatibility with the Trijicon RMR HD and AimPoint Acro P-2 optics via a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. Training pistols must be permanently color-coded red for inert use and blue for man-marking, and magazine components must have distinct colors for identification. The RFI also requires submission of company information including CAGE code, DUNS number, NAICS code 332994, GSA Schedule status, and size certification, but it does not mandate any formal certifications, subcontracting controls, or security clearances. Packaging, marking, preservation, and invoicing requirements are not defined, as the RFI is not a procurement instrument. Evaluation in a future solicitation is expected to follow a trade-off approach, valuing superior reliability and accuracy over price, with no LPTA methodology anticipated. The place of performance for any resulting contract would be Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and while a site visit is tentatively scheduled for July 2026, no delivery schedules, payment terms, or contract values are stated at this stage.
