- Description
- Addition of specific ammo from manufacturer to current BPA F12PA00140. This announcement constitutes the only notice. This is not a request for quotes. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than 10:00AM, Monday Sept 21, 2015 by sending an e-mail to valarie_reinholz@fws.gov; however, any technical data received will be for the sole purpose of market research for future requirements. Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), Fish & Wildlife Services, Region 9 Contracting and General Services intends to modify the existing BPA F12PA00140 to add 9mm ammo. The current BPA has.380 ammo (RA380T) which is being removed and substituted for the 9mm (RA9B) due to purchasing of new firearms for the Special Agents. This will be a sole source, firm-fixed price modification to: COMPANY: OLIN Corporation Winchester DUNS: 088736686 FOR : Ammunition, through 30MM for the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement NAICS: 332992 SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION MANUFACTURING AUTHORITY: 8.405-6(a)(2) Limited Sources Justification and Approval 13.106(b) Soliciting from a single source Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement requires newly factory manufactured ammunition that is owned by the Service for use by Service law enforcement officers (442 FWl. 1.6 A) and (Law Enforcement Memorandum 45 (LE-45). The Service also requires ammunition be made available to Service law enforcement officers to carry for duty (442 FW 1, 1.6 B) In June 2012, the Office of Law Enforcement Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Team, authorized under Chief's Directive-A23 (CD-A23), tasked the Firearms Committee, authorized under 442 FW 1, 1.12 A, to produce a recommendation for standard ammunition for use by service special agents. The Office of Law Enforcement, Firearms Committee recommended the Winchester ammunition Ranger RA9B 9mm to be carried for duty. The Winchester Ranger RA9b ammunition is a 147 grain bonded JHP. This ammunition is manufactured by Winchester Ammunition for the Olin Corporation and is the preferred ammunition for use by service special agents for duty ammunition. The ASAC Team accepted the recommendation to make the Winchester Ranger the standard ammunition for Service special agent pistols. Olin Corporation Winchester is the sole source manufacturer of this ammunition. Purchasing directly from the manufacturer assures the ammunition meets the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) specifications, is newly manufactured, and is meeting the highest quality. Additionally, ordering directly from Olin Corporation Winchester, the large quantities needed to supply enough ammunition for training can only be provided from the manufacture to minimize the number of lots in case of a recall and quality control perspective. The manufacturer provides a discount for law enforcement in the form of lowering the price to adjust for the Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax (FAET).
