\n\nLast summer,\u00a0France's two national law enforcement agencies, the National Police and\u00a0National Gendarmerie, issued a solicitation for a 9x19mm submachine gun<\/a>. Now the HK UMP has reportedly been selected to fulfill that need.\n\n[in_content post=\"196809\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

HK UMP Contract<\/h3>\nA notice<\/a> posted to\u00a0Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) announces Heckler & Koch as the winner of the\u00a0\u20ac3,215,460 ($3,753,592) contract. HK's French subsidiary, Heckler and Koch France SAS, will handle the procurement.\u00a0The UMP isn't specifically mentioned, but as The Firearm Blog<\/em><\/a> notes, the gun meets the desired specs. In addition, the French police have demonstrated an interest in the gun; it's been issued to select units for a decade now.\n\nVia Google Translate, here's the synopsis for the purpose of the contract:\n
The present consultation concerns the acquisition of 9 x 19 mm machine guns and their peripheral equipment for the benefit of the Gendarmerie Nationale and the National Police. These weapons will allow the operational services to have a collective weapon to ensure a specific response capability, day and night, at engagement distances greater than that of the handgun.<\/em>\n\nThis project aims to renew the shoulder armament of the internal security forces. These weapons will have to use all the ammunition of 9 x 19 mm in current service within the MI. They will be accompanied by accessories promoting ergonomics, grip, sighting and shooting.<\/em><\/blockquote>\nThe deal calls for HK to supply 2,000 \"operational service\" subguns; 600 training guns; and 100 suppressors, in addition to a host of associated gear and equipment. Here's the Google Translate version of what's included:\n
