Sig Sauer has won a potential 10-year, $580.2 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with a new handgun system designed to replace the service branch™s M9 pistol.
The Army Contracting Command received nine proposals for the Modular Handgun System contract and expects work to conclude on Jan. 19, 2027, the Defense Department said Thursday.
The firm-fixed-price contract also covers ammunition and accessories.
The military branch will determine the work location and funds upon award of each task order, according to DoD.
Smith & Wesson partnered with General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) to propose the former™s M&P pistol for the Army™s XM-17 contract, but their proposal failed to advance to the next phase of competition in September, according to a report by Bob Owens for Bearing Arms.
