“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

If you read the SOW, it specified a modular optics mount capable of accepting both the RMR and DPP.
Buying 60,000 RMR cut guns to take your agency into the next 10-15 years would not be “baller.” It would be stupid and short sighted. Why buy guns cut only for an optic which may be obsolete half way through the guns service life?
The Aimpoint ACCRO May take MRDS to the next level in the next decade but if it doesn’t something else will.
I was impressed it was written purely from the functional perspective and specifying a technology such as “internal frame that can be used in multiple outer frames.” Having written govt RFI and RFPs it is a challenge when seeking new capabilities to not slip into limiting the technical approach and stay focused on the functionality needed yet protecting from some weird lame overly optimized solution as well. Good job!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

It would be a shame if they don’t sell it. Also that video does not convey anything that was obvious from reading the RFP and looking at a picture other than the 11rd mags for the 26.
Edit: I can’t see this not becoming more widely available. There are plenty of benefits of parts commonality that many agencies and even consumers will want.
