Anybody know who the other five competitors were?

Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc., Christiana, Tennessee, was awarded an estimated $49,936,300, five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract (H92403-19-D-0002) for the purchase of advanced sniper rifles in support of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Fiscal 2019 research, development, test and evaluation funds in the amount of $387,234 are being obligated at the time of award. The work will be performed in Christiana, and is scheduled to be completed by March 2024. The solicitation was posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website under “full and open competition” and six proposals were received. USSOCOM, Tampa, Florida, is the contracting activity.

Gonna take a wild guess that Accuracy International was one and this was the submission:

Excellent. Barrett is a solid pro-2a US firearm manufacturer. I’m always happy to see them win.

I’m guessing it’s based on the MRAD, which is a slick rifle. I shot one in 300 Norma Mag with a Proof Research barrel that the Proof rep had at the USASOC Sniper Comp two years ago.
