This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HSCEAM-05-R-00009, which is issued as a Request For Proposal (RFP). This requirement is a small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 611699 and the small business size standard is $6.0 million. The Department of homeland Security (DHS) has a requirement for a firing range to conduct mandatory quarterly qualifications and other firearms training. The range must be in located in close proximity to a major trauma facility and within an hour drive to Romulus, Michigan. The proposed ranges must meet various standards to qualify.

The range must be at least 25 yards in length. The range must possess moveable barricades for the 25- and 15-yard line course of fire. The range must possess a public address system. The range must have targets, which simultaneously move back and forth as well as rotate. The range must be able to accommodate all handgun calibers as well as frangible ammunition for steel targets. The range rules cannot disallow movement between firing points or restrict movement-oriented firearms training firing points by students (i.e. standing to kneeling transitions). The range rules cannot disallow students from drawing and firing from the holster. The range rules cannot disallow students from multiple and rapid-fire drills. The range rules cannot disallow a student from moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present, (i.e. tactical move and shoot type drills where instructor/student ratio would be too restrictive). DHS employees will not sign a “Hold Harmless Clause”. The range must possess a storage area dedicated to DHS inspectors/officers. Indoor ranges must possess a ventilation system that conforms to existing OSHA standards. The estimated days of range usage are 24 days per quarter/ at least seven (7) hours per day.
