The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeks an established outdoor firing range near Detroit Metropolitan Airport for conducting quarterly firearms training and mandatory qualifications. The selected range must comply with applicable lead exposure and OSHA regulations, including submission of recent lead testing certifications. Key requirements include exclusive access for DHS for specified hours, the capacity to accommodate up to 20 shooters firing 250 rounds each, and the ability to recover lead from ammunition.
Additionally, the range should have proper accessibility for vehicles, appropriate emergency communication options, and must allow various movement-oriented training activities. A proposed site inspection is part of the proposal evaluation process. The DHS aims to utilize the range an estimated 18 days per year, ensuring the facility is closed to the public during DHS training hours. This procurement reflects the department's commitment to maintaining high training standards while adhering to safety and regulatory guidelines.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) seeks to assess market interest and the capabilities of vendors for Firing Range Services supporting its Detroit Field Office. This document serves as a Sources Sought Notice, not a solicitation, aimed at determining potential sources' socio-economic classifications and qualifications, including small businesses and veterans. The TSA requires indoor/outdoor firing ranges meeting specific criteria for firearm training and qualifications of personnel. Proposed ranges must adhere to local, state, and federal regulations, particularly related to lead exposure, and be within a 20-mile radius of Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Vendors must provide a Contractor’s Capabilities Statement, detailing their qualifications, experience, and compliance with applicable standards. A rigorous selection process will include site inspections to ensure conformity to outlined specifications. Key requirements entail exclusive use of the range for DHS personnel during specified hours, adequate facilities for firearm safety, and assurance of compliance with OSHA regulations. Overall, the initiative aims to enhance training efficacy while ensuring safety and regulatory adherence.
