Okay, so it's not really official, but it just as well could be:
*****
ONTARIO M10 US ARMY BAYONET
Newly redesigned for updated specifications, the M-10 bayonet repleaces the M9 with additional features: MOLLE / PALS webbing attachment on the sheath, allowing it to fit the Interceptor style body armor or similarly equipped vests, sleek ergonomic handle, and Coyote brown handle & sheath coloring for increased camoflage in multiple environments.
The Dynaflex® Handle isergonomically grooved to reduce hand fatigue with positioning access point for quick redirect of positioning of blade in reduced visibility situations.
Like the M9, the M-10 features integral wire cutters built into the sheath.
Length, Overall: 12 5/16"
Blade Length: 7 1/4"
Blade Material: Carbon Steel
Handle Length: 4 7/8"
Handle Material: Dynaflex
Weight: 15.6 oz
Sheath Material: Thermoplastic
*****
Basically, it is the M-9 bayonet with improved features, such as carbon steel blade and sheath with PALS webbing:

The main differance in the sheath is that it no longer has the molded-in side loops of the M-9's sheath, as you can loop leg retaining straps through the PALS webbing:

The PALS-compatible hangar has a Fastex buckle so you can quickly detach the sheath:

The wire-cutting feature is retained from the M-9:

The blade is the same shape as the improved M-9, with no fullers:
