HQ JROTC Air Rifles

The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for a federal contract to supply Life Cycle Replacement Air Rifles for the Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) for fiscal year 2025. The contractor is responsible for providing necessary equipment, including rifles, slings, and related accessories, with an emphasis on ensuring safe and competitive quality for cadet participation. The performance period for delivery is set at within 150 days post contract approval, with strict guidelines on shipping to multiple locations, including overseas destinations. The document specifies performance objectives and detailed technical specifications for the air rifles, which must meet certain standards, such as being a .177 caliber, cost no more than $650, and weigh no more than 7.5 pounds. Delivery logistics require consolidated shipments to individual locations, with tracking and reporting requirements to ensure accountability. The SOW aims to ensure that the JROTC program can effectively conduct air rifle competitions across various levels, highlighting the need to replace outdated equipment for optimal cadet training and competitive performance.

The FY24 JROTC Air Rifle Specifications document outlines the required features and specifications for air rifles and associated accessories to be used in the JROTC program. Key specifications for the air rifle include a .177 caliber construction, CMP approval, a sight radius over 30 inches, and the ability to deliver consistent shots from a 3,000 psi air reservoir. Additional requirements encompass a lightweight design (max 7.5 pounds), ambidextrous features, and precision adjustable components. The document also specifies various supporting items such as slings, cleaning kits, bipods, air tanks, and scopes, all of which must meet specific performance criteria and compatibility with the air rifles. For instance, the bipod should maintain the rifle in an upright position, while the scope must provide adjustable magnification and be water-resistant with clear optics. The purpose of these specifications is to standardize the equipment used in JROTC air rifle training, ensuring safety, consistency, and performance in competitive shooting environments. This structured approach aligns with federal and local guidelines for educational programs and aims to facilitate equitable access to quality training resources.
