The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has awarded FN America with a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract—valued up to $39,643,953—to supply for M240 and M249 machine gun barrels. The company collaborates with and is a key partner of the combat-support agency in the DoD, which is one of the largest suppliers of spare parts that serves more than 20,000 customers throughout all U.S. military branches, civil agencies and a variety of other DoD organizations.

“The contract to provide barrels for M240 and M249 machine guns is a testament to our partnership with the U.S. DoD, a partnership that dates to the early 1980s,” said Mark Cherpes, president and CEO for FN America. “We’re incredibly honored to support the U.S. military with the highest-quality, cold-hammer-forged barrels. The durability and accuracy of FN barrels provides our servicemen and women with the most effective and highest performing products available.”

The M240 general-purpose machine gun, which is derived from the FN MAG 58, was adopted by the U.S. military in the late 1970s, and has been in continual service since its introduction. FN has created multiple variants of the M240, including the M240 coaxial, the M240B, M240L, M240D and M240H models. The FN M249 has been a mainstay throughout the U.S. military since 1986 and is currently in service in more than 30 countries.

Throughout its history, FN has been one of the largest suppliers of small arms to the U.S. military and continues to develop innovative, future technology. In addition to the M240 and its variants, the company currently holds contracts for the FN M249 lightweight machine gun; the FN MK 46, MK 48, MK 17 and MK 20 SSR for USSOCOM, and various other contracts.
