Short Barrel Rifles and Accessories

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Acquisition Services Division is soliciting a complete, turn-key 11.5-inch 5.56mm NATO short-barreled rifle (SBR) system optimized for protective operations, rapid response to active shooter incidents, and high-round-count training. The requirement includes each unit being equipped with ten 30-round Magpul PMAG or equivalent magazines, a single quick-adjust two-point sling that must be Berry-compliant or U.S.-made, and all necessary accessories and documentation. Each rifle must be test-fired individually with a corresponding test-fire report provided, and the manufacturer must supply HPT/MPI certifications for both the barrel and bolt. Compliance with all applicable federal firearms laws, including the National Firearms Act, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulations, and International Traffic in Arms Regulations, is mandatory. The contractor is required to submit paper ATF Form V directly, as the agency lacks an Originating Agency Identifier, and must also provide all NFA/SBR registration paperwork and tax stamp documentation. The contract has a six-month period of performance from award, with delivery of all items to be completed within 90 days of order receipt to the FERC location at 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. Vendors must coordinate with the Contracting Officer’s Representative prior to shipping, and all items must be securely packaged with manuals and standard accessories. Nonconforming, defective, or incomplete deliveries will be flagged by the COR, and full acceptance hinges on meeting all technical, regulatory, and documentation requirements at the time of delivery. The procurement involves Controlled Unclassified Information and is solicited under NAICS code 332994 as a combined synopsis solicitation with no set-aside. Questions must be submitted by July 7, 2026, and quotes are due by July 13, 2026, to Christina Nortey at christina.nortey@ferc.gov. Pricing details, funding sources, and evaluation criteria are not specified in the available documentation.
