10--Notice of Intent - Staccato 2011

**The Purpose of this Amendment is to update the address listed for Staccato 2011*** NOTICE OF INTENT – Staccato 2011 This is a NOTICE OF INTENT to award a sole source contract using Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 12.102 Restricting Competition under Statutory Authority 41 U.S.C. 1901. The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Headquarters Procurement Services, on behalf of the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security’s (EHSS) Office of Executive Protection (EHSS-1.3) intends to issue a sole source award to Staccato 2011, located at 1223 County Road 233, Florence, TX 76527, for a weapon system to support federal law enforcement personnel. Special Federal law enforcement personnel assigned to executive protection duties require a concealed carry weapon that combines superior reliability, firepower, concealability, and ergonomics. These personnel operate in high-risk, sensitive environments where the effectiveness and dependability of their sidearm can be a decisive factor in saving lives and safeguarding protected individuals. The anticipated award date is 08/31/2026. The Staccato HD C3.6 pistol uniquely fulfills this critical set of performance, safety, and operational requirements due to the following proprietary and specialized features: Superior Compact Design: The Staccato HD C3.6 is specifically engineered for concealed carry with a slim profile and reduced weight. This design allows federal agents to maintain a low visible signature while ensuring rapid, unimpeded access in high-threat scenarios. High Capacity & Firepower: Offering a 15-round magazine capacity of 9mm rounds, the C3.6 provides superior firepower compared to other pistols in its size category. This expanded capacity is essential for high-threat executive protection environments where reloading opportunities may be restricted. Exceptional Accuracy: The weapon features precision-engineered components and advanced ergonomics that enable highly accurate shooting under extreme stress—an essential capability when protecting high-value individuals. Reliability and Durability: Built with robust, duty-grade materials and an enhanced barrel system, the C3.6 maintains outstanding performance in adverse operational conditions, significantly reducing the probability of malfunctions during critical, life-or-death operations. Exclusive Proprietary Features: The Staccato HD line incorporates proprietary engineering innovations not found in alternative commercially available models. This includes its signature trigger system and customized slide mechanics, which are uniquely designed for smoother, faster firing cycles and significantly reduced recoil. Proven Operational Use: The Staccato HD series is already vetted and trusted by elite federal law enforcement units for executive protection missions, backed by documented performance superiority in both field evaluations and active operational deployments. Rigorous Safety Testing: This specific weapon system has successfully passed all of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Weapons Safety Testing Parameters, validating its mechanical safety and operational readiness for federal service. Extended Life Cycle and Cost-Effectiveness: While standard law enforcement service pistols typically offer an operational life cycle of only 3 to 5 years, Staccato guarantees their weapon systems for 8 to 10 years. Relying on this weapon system extends the federal refresh requirements by an additional 3 to 5 years, translating to long-term cost savings, reduced procurement overhead, and reliable longevity for the Government. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to award only one source under the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition of 41 USC 3304, RFO FAR 6.103-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
