How to bid on Glock weapons systems, spare parts, and accessories for the Dept of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense (DoD) intends to award a sole-source contract to Glock, Inc. for various Glock weapon systems, including specific models like the G17, G19, G19X, G26, G43X, G17T, and G19T, across multiple generations. The contract also covers magazines, spare parts, individual accessories, and training related to these systems.
This will be a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a maximum value of $40.5 million. While this is a sole-source notice, it is an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capability to meet this requirement, potentially influencing future procurement decisions.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This notice was published on August 04, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) and not a Request for Proposal (RFP).
The DoD anticipates releasing the actual solicitation approximately 15 days after the date of this notice. Responses to this RFI will help the government determine if there are other sources capable of fulfilling this requirement, though the decision to compete the contract remains at their discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily for businesses that can supply Glock weapon systems, related parts, accessories, and training. While the DoD intends a sole-source award to Glock, Inc., other manufacturers or authorized distributors of similar non-standard weapons or commercially available weapon systems may choose to respond.
Firms specializing in security equipment, firearms, and related training services, particularly those with experience in government contracting, would find this relevant. The notice specifically mentions non-standard weapons and commercially available Glock systems.
