Firearms Training Simulator Maintenance (USCG SMTC)

The U.S. Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center intends to award a sole-source purchase order to InVeris Training Solutions, Inc. for extended warranty service, depot-level maintenance, and repair of the InVeris 100 mil Firearms Training Simulator and associated simulated weapon systems, including MK-19, M2, M240G, M4, Drop-In Lowers, Glock 17, Glock 19, magazines, air hoses, and connectors. This decision is based on the proprietary nature of the equipment, which requires specialized technical knowledge, access to proprietary parts, and manufacturer-specific technical data that only InVeris possesses, making it the sole viable source to ensure operational readiness. The contract will have a one-year base period running from September 24, 2026, to September 23, 2027, with four additional one-year option periods, and performance will primarily occur at the contractor’s facilities, with frequent on-site visits to BLDG BB6 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The contractor is responsible for all shipping logistics, including providing shipping labels and bearing all transportation costs, and must return repaired systems to the government at no expense. Repairs must be completed within 30 days of receipt, and all deliverables are subject to government acceptance by the unit Technical Representative within five business days, with the contractor allowed five business days to correct deficiencies. Work must generally occur between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, though non-standard hours may be required. The contractor’s employees must comply with all Department of Homeland Security security and conduct policies, including wearing identification badges in plain view, adhering to escort requirements, and identifying themselves as contractors in official communications. Access to classified information is not required, but the government retains the authority to remove any contractor employee for misconduct or security violations. This acquisition is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, and while the solicitation number is 62200PR260025403a and the NAICS code is 335999, no formal pricing or CLIN structure is provided. The government is soliciting capability statements from other potential vendors until July 2, 2026, solely for market research purposes, with no obligation to compete the requirement regardless of responses received.
