6.5 Creedmoor 140g Open Tip Match

This is not a request for information or proposals. No proposals will be accepted at this time. The Justification and Approval for this acquisition will be posted upon award. HQ USSOCOM purchased 6.5 Creedmoor 140g Open Tip Match ammunition from BHA in FY20 on contract H9240320P0005. The ammunition was delivered and met the specifications it was ordered to. However, during the developmental testing of a separate Program of Record, the rounds exhibited some anomalies caused by third party components. As a result of this, the Government will procure 30,000 additional rounds from Black Hills in two slightly different variants to conduct further testing. If no further issues arise, an option for 80,000 rounds will be exercised to finish developmental testing of the Program of Record. Once the configuration has been finalized, it is the Governments intent to procure operational quantities of the ammunition under full and open competition.
