5.56 Rifle and Accessories

The United States Secret Service (USSS) requires new 5.56 x 45mm semi-automatic duty rifles with sound suppressors, operable in all environmental conditions. These commercially available weapons must align with the 'manual of operation' of existing SR16 AR-style rifles and be newly manufactured. Key specifications include ambidextrous controls, a 4-6.5 lb non-adjustable two-stage trigger, and compatibility with Magpul PMAG 30 AR/M4 magazines. The rifle must feature a direct-impingement or short-stroke gas piston system, a barrel with a 10,000-round minimum service life, and the HUXWRX FLOW 556K suppressor. Dimensional requirements specify a maximum height of 8 inches, weight of 8 pounds, and an overall length of 29 inches with the stock folded. The weapon also needs a modular free-floating handguard assembly, a MAGPUL MIAD GEN 1.1 Grip Kit, and a MAGPUL CTR Carbine Stock with a folding adapter.

The Department of Homeland Security/United States Secret Service has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for 5.56x45mm AR-15 style Duty Rifles.

Interested parties must submit a capability statement (not exceeding three pages) by December 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM ET. The statement should describe existing capabilities (including machinery, location, and lead times), relevant experience within the last five years, and approaches to minimize risks. Submissions must also include organizational details such as name, address, CAGE/EUI codes, business size, small business type (if applicable), and point of contact information. Responses should be sent electronically to Theresa Williams and Erik Syfert.

The United States Secret Service (USSS) is soliciting proposals for a single firm fixed-price IDIQ contract for 5.56 Rifles and Accessories, with a five-year ordering period. Award will be based on a best value tradeoff, considering technical factors (Factor 1), past performance (Factor 2), and price (Factor 3). Non-price factors combined are significantly more important than price. Technical proposals will be evaluated first, and only those receiving a "pass" will proceed to past performance and price evaluation. Proposals must include the solicitation number, offeror information, UEI, evaluation information, representations, certifications, and agreement with terms. Offers are firm for 90 days. Late submissions are generally not considered. The USSS intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct them. Post-award debriefings will disclose evaluation details. Questions are due by May 29, 2026, and proposals by June 29, 2026, both by 4:00 PM EST. Test samples (five firearms, seven magazines per firearm, chambered in 5.56 x 45mm) must be delivered to the James J. Rowley Training Center by June 29, 2026, adhering to ATF and National Firearms Act regulations. Proposal format requires a cover page and three factors: Technical (PDF, max 10 pages for 1a), Past Performance (PDF, max 3 pages per profile), and Price (Excel using Attachment 4, max 3 pages). All narrative text must be 12-point Times New Roman, single-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Technical evaluation includes comprehensive testing and reviews (trigger, velocity, accuracy, drop, safety, armorer, end-user, 10,000-round barrel life reliability/endurance). Past performance is rated low, moderate, high, or unknown based on recency and relevancy. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness, realism, and completeness using a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) calculation. The Government may reject unbalanced offers. The evaluation will use a PASS/FAIL rating for technical factors and a risk rating for past performance.

This government file outlines a five-year ordering plan for various weapon components and related parts, likely for a federal, state, or local government entity. The document lists quantities for items such as 5.56 rifles, suppressors, upper receivers, barrels, bolt assemblies, magazines, and preventative maintenance parts across five ordering years. However, all unit prices, total prices for each year, and overall totals are listed as zero, indicating that this document is either a template for future pricing, a preliminary request for quotation without cost details, or a placeholder for a contract where pricing has not yet been determined or is managed elsewhere. The structure suggests a long-term procurement strategy, focusing on the consistent supply of critical equipment over multiple years.
