SBR Firearm Manufacturing and Final Assembly

The contract calls for the complete fabrication, assembly, and testing of 11.5-inch 5.56mm NATO short-barreled rifles that meet all applicable Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives National Firearms Act regulations. Each unit must undergo rigorous quality control procedures and mandatory test-firing to ensure compliance with performance and safety standards. The work encompasses all stages of production from component manufacturing to final inspection, with strict adherence to federal firearms laws and regulatory documentation requirements. The place of performance is designated as Washington D.C. with a zip code of 20426, indicating the work must be conducted in proximity to federal oversight authorities. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 332993 for other fabricating and finishing operations and is managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Acquisition Services Division despite the unusual alignment with firearms manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 2, 2026, with proposals due by July 13, 2026, suggesting a tight turnaround period for qualified manufacturers to respond. No set-aside provisions are indicated, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible entities without preference for small businesses, veteran-owned concerns, or other designated categories. All work must be completed in accordance with federal compliance protocols, and successful bidders will be expected to deliver fully functional, legally documented firearms ready for government use.
