Steyr Arms RFP

Steyr Arms is a renowned firearms manufacturer specializing in rifles and pistols. In 2019, Steyr Arms released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to secure a supplier for the production of a new Modular Tactical Rifle (MTR).

The MTR was intended to be a highly adjustable, multi-caliber rifle designed for military and law enforcement customers. The RFP sought to find a supplier who could meet Steyr’s exacting standards for precision, durability, and customization options.

The RFP specified that the MTR must be available in multiple calibers, including .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .338 Lapua Magnum. Additionally, the rifle had to be highly modular, with interchangeable components that allowed users to customize it for their specific needs.

Steyr was also looking for a supplier that could provide high-quality barrels, receivers, and trigger groups, as well as components for the rifle’s stock and accessories. The supplier needed to have a proven track record of producing high-quality components and providing exceptional customer service.

The RFP also detailed the rigorous testing and evaluation process that potential suppliers would have to undergo. This included accuracy testing, endurance testing, and environmental testing to ensure that the MTR was capable of performing in a wide range of conditions.

After reviewing proposals from several suppliers, Steyr ultimately selected Proof Research as the supplier for the MTR. Proof Research was chosen for their expertise in lightweight, accurate barrels and their commitment to quality and innovation.

The Steyr Arms RFP for the Modular Tactical Rifle demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing the highest quality firearms to military and law enforcement customers. By carefully evaluating potential suppliers and specifying rigorous testing criteria, Steyr was able to select a supplier that truly met their requirements and exceeded their expectations.
