- Description
- This is a synopsis for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The solicitation number for this posting is HSTS07-14-R-00022, which will be issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). This requirement will be an UNRESTRICTED acquisition. This synopsis is a request for sources sought only. The proposed contract will be for one year and four term options. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 611699. Services anticipated to begin on or about July 31, 2014. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a requirement for a firearms range to conduct mandatory quarterly qualifications and other firearms training. NOTE: THE RANGE MUST BE AN ESTABLSIHED RANGE; THIS IS NOT A REQUEST TO BUILD A RANGE. The range shall be within a 25 mile radius of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The proposed range must meet the following standards to qualify for consideration: DHS personnel will use the range 36 days per quarter. DHS requires exclusive use of the range in 8 hour blocks, and limited blocks in the evening for night/low light shooting. The range will be closed to the public (non-law enforcement) during the corresponding hours that DHS uses the range. Should weather (e.g. rainout) or unforeseen circumstances prevent the use of the range; DHS will have priority in rescheduling those missed days within the same month, if possible, or the following month, if not possible. DHS will provide all ammunition, targets, and firearms instructors. The estimated number of rounds fired per year is 500,000. DHS will provide all AMMUNITION, TARGETS and FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS. The range time must be available exclusively to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the hours indicated. The range must be able to be utilized for approximately 71 days at 4 hour blocks. An outdoor range is preferred. Each shooter will fire approximately 400 rounds per qualification. The range may be indoor or outdoor. Indoor ranges must possess air conditioning, heating, and an approved ventilation system that conforms to existing OSHA regulations. The range must possess a minimum of 10 firing points and must be able to accommodate a qualification course distance minimum of 1.5 yards and maximum of 25 yards. The range must possess and maintain all target retention devices. The range must possess moveable barricades for the 15 and 25 yard-line courses of fire. The barricades shall be constructed of a material that does not deflect or ricochet rounds that inadvertently strike it, e.g. wood. The range shall possess adequate exterior lighting in both public and work areas. The range must possess a public address system that will allow the Range Officer to communicate with range instructors and students, who are participating in training. The range will have a designated firearms cleaning area. The range operator will be responsible for all lead recovery at the range, and removal of all waste materials from the range and the weapons cleaning area. Spent brass casings will be cleaned up at the end of the day by DHS personnel and put in range supplied containers. Brass will be the property of DHS unless specifically given to the range for recycling. The range shall be equipped with men's and women's restroom facilities with running water for DHS use. The range shall possess drinking fountains located near the range for DHS use. The range shall provide adequate parking to accommodate at least 25 vehicles. The range must possess an on-site classroom facility to accommodate 25 students. The range must be able to accommodate the following: 9mm, 40,.357, 556 (frangible) caliber ammunition and FX Simunition marking cartridges. The range rules must allow movement between firing points and will not restrict movement-oriented firearms training by students (e.g. standing to kneeling transitions). The range rules will allow students to draw and fire from the holster. The range rules will not disallow a student from moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present, such as tactical move and shoot drills where instructor/student ratio would be too restrictive. Range rules will not disallow students from performing multiple and rapid-fire drills. A (DHS owned) CONEX box is required to be stored at the range site, in a secured area where the public does not have access. Special targets, aircraft seats, range and other equipment deemed necessary will be stored in this unit. There will be no additional cost to DHS for the storage of this CONEX box. The proposed contract will be for one (1) base year and four (4) one-year options. Offerors shall submit pricing for all range requirements: Any offeror/source shall not submit pricing at this time.
