Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NSWC Crane, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source award to MAGPUL Industries Corporation for small arms weapon accessories. This five-year, firm-fixed price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract will provide essential components to support multiple weapon systems for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This J&A was published on March 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for small arms weapon accessories, including items such as front and rear sights, grips, handguards, and stocks. These accessories are designed to enhance the features and usability of various weapons and are crucial for maintenance and material support of USSOCOM's weapon systems. No modifications to the accessories will be necessary.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-fixed price, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)
- Period of Performance: Five years
- Estimated Value: Derived from historical procurements (specific amounts redacted)
- Funding: Procurement (PROC), Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) for the Navy and USSOCOM.
Rationale for Sole Source
MAGPUL is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only source capable of providing the required accessories without significant delays. These components have been procured from MAGPUL since 2023 and are integrated into multiple fielded weapon systems (e.g., MK1 MOD0, M110, URG-I, MK22, MK23 MOD0) that have undergone rigorous testing and received safety releases. Substituting components could compromise reliability and safety, necessitating costly retesting and potentially impacting operational readiness. Establishing a contract with the OEM will also streamline incremental product improvements.
Market Research
Market research conducted by the Requiring Technical Activity (RTA) confirmed that MAGPUL is the only source that can meet the government's requirements. No other vendors were identified who could fulfill the sole source rationale.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a Justification and Approval for a sole source procurement, not a competitive solicitation.
Additional Notes
The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. NSWC Crane currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies unless another potential source emerges. This document is not a solicitation.
