This is a full and open competitive acquisition with an Insurance Policy in accordance with AFMCFARS 5317.7590. In the event an unqualified source is awarded the contract, a Mission Essential Quantity (MEQ) may be issued to a proven source to maintain current demand levels through the new production lead time.

MEQ=25 each FUNCTION: The GAU-8 Gun Housing contains a cam, which controls movement of bolt assemblies during gun rotation. In addition, the gun housing provides a mount for several associated parts such as the ammunition transfer assembly, solenoid assembly, recoil spindle assemblies, and rotor assembly.

The manufacturer will require a FFL for this contract. Obtaining a FFL takes about 6 months to get. Not all applicants are approved for the FFL.
