FOB DESTINAION CONUS Offerors quoting the brand name product that are not the manufacturer or an authorized distributor of the brand name product MUST submit a signed letter from the manufacturer of the brand name product stating the following: "Manufacturer, has agreed to supply brand name product to Your company for the purpose of providing the supplies to the DoS "Manufacturer, has agreed to supply brand name product to Your company for the purpose of providing the supplies to the DoS." It is required that the Sig Sauer P229 Pistol be purchased to issue to the agents who will be assigned to overseas Posts. The above weapons will be used to replace the Department of State weapons destroyed in accordance with the Federal Property Management regulation. This will enable the agents to provide continued protection and security for personnel. Additionally, continued safe travel and protected movement is required for high level U.S. Embassy and Consulate officials while traveling overseas, and for Ambassador level officials serving in international organizations working to restore and maintain economic and social stability. Sig Sauer P229 9mm pistol is the issued pistol that all agents are trained on. Overall length: 7.1 inches, Overall height: 5.4 inches, Overall width: 1.5 inches, Barrel length: 3.9 inches, Weight w/o mag: 28.1 oz, Mag weight: 3.0 oz, Sight radius: 5.7 inches. State Department requires the Law Enforcement magazine which holds 13 rounds as opposed to 10 rounds and DS also requires the Trijicon night sights. Under the Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security has a broad range of responsibilities that include the protection of personnel and facilities, both domestic and abroad. Without the weapons requested, the Diplomatic Security Service will be unable to provide the proper level of security and protection. The Sig Sauer P229 9mm pistol is a unique system that our armorers have been certified to repair, and that the agents have been trained to use. All agents must be able to pick up a weapon and use it, not just the one they were trained on, and this becomes a legal liability issue. The U.S. Department of State cannot utilize multiple systems for our weapons for the above reasons. The weapons requested are what the agents were trained to use during their initial training as Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent Training. The economic impact to the U.S. Government for using other items than what is requested, would be great and would involve the re-training of all agents in the field including purchasing all new weapons systems to issue to the various mission locations be it overseas or abroad. Sig Sauer is the manufacturer of the P229 Pistol. The DS Firearms Policy and Review Board (FPRB) has approved the use of the Sig Sauer as the ONLY pistol authorized for use by DS Agents.
