AI Contract Overview
The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to award a construction contract in fiscal year 2027 for a 5,800-square-foot indoor small arms range at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Watervliet, New York, complete with utilities, pavement, and site improvements using conventional methods. The project will include a sole-sourced Action Target bullet trap system, required to meet strict technical specifications for safe, high-volume live-fire training within a compact facility footprint, while complying with the Buy American Act. The bullet trap must span the full width of the range, feature a minimum 9-foot opening height, be constructed of at least ½-inch AR500 steel, and handle rounds up to 7.62mm rifle caliber with integrated dust collection, deceleration chamber, and 20-gallon drum bullet collection system, all designed to fit the constrained building envelope without structural modifications. The contract will be awarded through a one-step negotiated procurement, with only the specified bullet trap component subject to sole sourcing if no equivalent alternatives are identified under FAR Part 6.302-1, and supplies will be delivered directly to the contractor. Vendors are invited to submit technical data within 15 business days demonstrating equivalent products that match the required performance, safety, and compliance criteria for the bullet trap system, as this notice serves as a market survey and intent notification rather than a formal solicitation. The government will not conduct a subsequent market survey if no competitive offerings are received, and the brand name justification will proceed without public publication. The solicitation number is W912DS26S0035, the NAICS code is 236220, and responses must be directed to the New York District Contracting Division by the specified deadline of July 24, 2026. Primary point of contact is Nicole C. Fauntleroy, with secondary support provided by Nicholas P. Emanuel, both based in New York, NY.

Full Description
1. The New York District plans to solicit and award a construction contract for subject project in FY27. The scope of the project is:
To construct a 5,800 sf indoor small arms range and supporting facilities, including utilities, pavement, and site improvements, utilizing conventional design and construction methods.
2. This notification serves three (3) purposes:
A. To notify potential bidders of the Government’s intent to solicit a brand name(s) only component for this project.
B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item(s).
C. Notification of the Army’s intent to solicit brand name components as described below.
3. The items described below, under summary of requirements, are embedded in the construction project. The contract will be issued as a one-step negotiated procurement. Only the components described below will be sole sourced, if no other sources are identified that can provide an equivalent system. In the event no equivalent sources are found, the brand name only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval for sole sourcing. Supplies of the brand name component will be provided directly to the Contractor(s) and not to the Government.
4. Summary of Requirements:
A. Bullet Trap
The requirement is to sole-source a requirement for brand-name Action Target equipment to support the construction of an indoor small arms range. The purpose of this acquisition is to fulfill the Buy American Act in addition to meet the strict technical performance metrics necessary for safe, high-volume live-fire training operations while integrating in constrained space of a reduced size facility (5,800 sf vs typical 8,000 sf) without incurring cost-prohibitive structural modifications.
The bullet trap shall span the full width of the range and shall have a minimum opening height of 9’-0”. The trap shall be constructed of not less than ½” thick AR500 steel and shall be designed to receive rounds up to and including 7.62mm rifle caliber. The ramp plates shall be angled to prevent ricochets or plate damage and fit within the envelope provided by the building design. The bullet trap will be full containment with dust collection, deceleration chamber, and bullet collection system utilizing the 20-gallon drum
system.
Therefore, the decision has been made to use Action Target for the new range. This choice is driven by the strict requirement to fulfil the technical specifications within the constrained space while fulfilling the Buy American Act.
5. Any vendor that wishes to provide an alternate source to the brand names above that is compatible with the above must provide a response with data supporting the claim within 15 business days of this announcement to New York District Corps of Engineering, Contracting Division.
This is a market survey and notification of intent only. This is not a request to respond to a solicitation. This requirement will be solicited at a future date.
