The United States Marine Corps intends to issue a sole‑source award to DuPage Holding LLC(22HU4) for the procurement of M1 Garand wooden components with installed metal hardware. Based on market research and historical sourcing, the Government has determined that this contractor is the only known source capable of providing items that meet the required specifications, production standards, and compatibility with existing ceremonial equipment.
The Government requires the following items, all manufactured to original M1 Garand specifications and delivered with new‑production, black‑oxided metal parts installed:
125 New Walnut M1 Garand Stocks, Unfinished, with Metal Installed
125 New Walnut M1 Garand Handguards, Front, Unfinished
125 New Walnut M1 Garand Handguards, Rear, Unfinished
All components must be unfinished walnut to allow for unit‑specific staining and finishing, and all metal hardware must be newly produced, properly fitted, and black‑oxided to ensure durability during ceremonial use and CONUS travel.
Rationale for Sole Source
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source because:
The identified contractor is the only known vendor capable of producing remanufactured M1 Garand stocks and handguards to exact original specifications.
The contractor has demonstrated unique manufacturing capability, including installation of new‑production black‑oxided metal parts that meet ceremonial performance requirements.
Market research indicates no other vendors currently provide these components with the required dimensional accuracy, material quality, and hardware installation.
Procuring from an alternate source would risk non‑compatibility, reduced durability, and failure to meet performance standards required for ceremonial rifles.
