- Description
- This is a market survey only. It is for planning purposes only and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal. The US Army, Office of the Project Manager for Tank and Medium-caliber Armament Systems (OPM TMAS), has a requirement to field a new 25mm training round to replace the M910 25mm training round. This new training round will emulate service Cartridges, 25mm, Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer (APFSD-T), M919 and the Cartridge, 25mm, APDS-T M791. Qualified sources are being sought for System Development and Demonstration (SDD) and the first 1-3 years of production for the cartridge, 25mm, Target Practice with Tracer (TPDS-T), M910E1. This new training round will be fired from the 25mm M242 Autogun on the M2/ M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The M910E1 will be required to match the trajectory of the M919 to within 1 mil and 0.5 seconds out to a range of 2500 meters. The M910E1 will be required to match the trajectory of the M791 to within 1 mil and 0.5 seconds out to a range of 2000 meters. The M910E1 will have a maximum range requirement of 8000 meters. One contract will be awarded for the SDD phase. Contract award is anticipated in early FY03. At the end of the SDD phase the contractor will deliver a qualification sample necessary to demonstrate the safety and performance characteristics of the M910E1. Elapsed time from SDD contract award to completion of qualification will be 21 months. TC-LRP is planned for the fourth quarter FY04. The contract may contain production options which could be exercised if the M910E1 achieves Type Classification-Standard and funding becomes available. It is anticipated that a second source will be solicited upon successful achievement of TC-LRP to support a dual source procurement strategy for follow-on production. The government is contemplating limiting this procurement to the domestic industrial base (US and Canada only). Responsible, interested sources are asked to submit their qualifications and capabilities including information, as applicable, on potential candidate rounds, level of maturity, basic description, basic performance information, and the amount of testing completed to date. Please provide responses to this market survey within 15 days to: Commander, US Army TACOM-ARDEC, Picatinny Center for Contracting and Commerce, AMSTA-AQ-APF, Bldg. 9, ATTN: Geoffrey Cramer, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806- 5000. See Numbered Note 25.
