Supply of M249 E-Blank System Kits

The contract calls for the supply of 20 complete M249 E-Blank System Kits designed to electronically simulate blank firing effects for squad automatic weapon training, with battery-powered operation to ensure mobility and ease of use in field environments. These kits are intended to enhance realism and safety during training exercises without requiring live ammunition, enabling units to practice loading, firing, and maneuvering with the M249 weapon system under controlled conditions. The system must reliably replicate the sound, recoil, and visual cues of actual blank rounds while maintaining full functionality within standard training protocols. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334511, indicating it pertains to the manufacturing of electronic components and instrumentation. The contract is issued by the Department of Defense through the FA4528 5 Cons office, with performance required at Minot. Interested parties must submit responses by May 13, 2026, at 5:00 AM, following the posting date of May 11, 2026. No set-aside type is specified, and the procurement is open to eligible subcontractors capable of delivering fully functional, compliant systems that meet military training standards without requiring external power sources or modifications to existing weapon platforms.
