- Description
- The US Army, Army Contracting Command Joint Munitions and Lethality Contracting Center, Soldier Weapons Center (CCJM-SW) on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Soldier Weapons (PM-SW) intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis with Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc (BFMI), 5926 Miller Lane, Christiana, TN 37037 for the acquisition of six (6) M 107 A1 Long Range Sniper Rifles. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition FAR 13.106(b)(1) which states "For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization)." The United States Government currently fields the M 107 Long Range Sniper Rifle which has been manufactured by BFMI for over 20 years. BFMI is currently the only known manufacturer of the M 107. BFMI has introduced an upgraded version of the M107 System, known as the M 107A1 to provide increased accuracy, decreased weight, improved ergonomics and suppression capability. The USG does not own the rights to the drawings for the currently fielded M107 LRSR, as these are proprietary to BFMI. As such the USG lacks the ability to upgrade the weapon systems, as do any other contractors. BFMI is the current and only producer of this state-of-the-art weapon system, thereby the reason for acquiring this limited sample quantity from the only known present producer, BFMI. This notice is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to issue a Solicitation, nor will the government be liable for any costs involved for submission of information in response to this notice. Point of Contact for this action is Jon Glassic, Contract Specialist, CCJM-SW, (973)724-3142, Jon.Glassic@us.army.mil
