Request for Information for Lightweight Machine Gun Tripos

The Product Manager Infantry Weapons at the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, VA, is conducting a market survey to identify capable suppliers for manufacturing and delivering lightweight machinegun tripods, traversing and elevating mechanisms, mounting pintles, and related spare parts. This action is initiated through a Request for Information (RFI) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10, aiming to gather information and assess the market potential rather than immediately procure goods or services. No solicitation or contract award will result directly from this RFI. The effort, referenced by solicitation number M67854-15-I-1007 and categorized under NAICS code 332710, is purely for market research purposes with no obligation on the government’s part to issue a solicitation or purchase the items. The contracting office point of contacts include a Contract Specialist, William A. Montgomery, and a Contracting Officer, Anita Norris, both reachable via email and phone. The process seeks to engage qualified sources to better understand industry capabilities related to infantry weapons support components, ensuring informed decisions for any potential future procurements.
