76 -- AMMUNITION DATABASE SOL BATF-98-21 POC Craig S. Segall, Contracting Officer, (202) 927-8689 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Forensic Ammunition Service for the purchase of an ammunition database and one year of service to update the database which is to be provided on a disk and in hard copy. The database must contain a comprehensive listing of all known worldwide manufacturers, past and present (including addresses, telephone and fax numbers as appropriate), predeecessors and successors of those business, dates and locations of manufacture and the types of ammunition produced. Ammunition types will include rimfire, commercial pistol, commercial rifle, military pistol, military rifle, machine gun, shot shell, paper and combustible, patent ignition, flare, and artillery. This vendor is a sole source since market research has failed to find any other comprehensive listing available. No telephone calls. See numbered Notes 1 and 22. (0161)
