[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1438031, member: 14204"] I am no expert but based on my personal experience, when a solicitation goes out for a bid, the Performance Work Statement (PWS) does not state any specific type of weapon or cartridge, just specific requirements, i.e., the "weapon shall be fully auto capable", "shall be designed for close quarter combat", "shall not exceed XX pounds when battle ready", etc ., for contractors to bid on. This allows the contractors flexibility to innovate and present their proposals to the office of primary requestor of the requirement to decide on. I know this because I have been part of the Performance Work Statement or Agency Tender in my last 21 years of my current job. More often than not, a change in mission requirement and the need for dynamic capabilities drives the change of existing resources to meet the projected mission requirement. Unfortunately, this can be a very length process. Your 4 to 5 years estimate is probably a pretty close assessment. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
