- Description
- The U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000, is conducting a market survey to identify qualified producers for replenishment items for the M303 Special Operations Forces Demolition Kit (SDK). This notice serves as a sources sought notice /market survey for informational/planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or pay for the information solicited. The U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC is seeking qualified sources to provide supplies and services to plan, manage and execute engineering, manufacturing and technical support tasks that will be necessary for the execution of a possible contract beginning approximately July 2003. Potential offeror?s shall have the capability to procure, fabricate, assemble, inspect and deliver SDK hardware in accordance with a statement of work and the Army?s Engineering Drawings, Quality Assurance Provisions (QAP), Special Packaging Instructions (SPI), and Contract Data Requirements List, DD Form 1423. This effort will include engineering tasks such as tolerance studies, materials studies, managing the engineering drawings for the Government, and the submission of Engineering Change Proposals, Requests for Deviation and Requests for Waiver. The SDK hardware to be procured by the ARMY consists of a combination of commercial off-the-shelf items, modified commercial off-the- shelf items, and SDK ?unique fabricated items. Items to be procured include explosively formed penetrators (EFP), linear cavity charge containers, conical cavity charge containers, magnets, telescoping support poles, tripods, elastic cable, special mounting brackets, cable ties, priming adapters, special purpose tape and graphic training aids. There are additional SDK items currently being developed by the U.S. Army that will be procured at the end of the development phase. It is the Army?s intent to procure these items in the future through contract modifications. These items consist of bar and cable cutters, multiple fragmenting EFPs, fence-piercing EFPs, pre-loaded EFPs, and two sizes of linear cavity charge containers. The pre-loaded EFPs will constitute the first of a new category of SDK items that will require loading of explosives by the contractor. It is anticipated that the explosive for these EFPs will be PAX-2A or some other explosive meeting Insensitive Munitions requirements. The SDK contains critical technology items (Distribution D), and only qualified DOD contractors and those contractors who can become qualified will be considered in the proposed action. Interested, responsible sources are requested to submit information on their company?s capabilities, past experience, and any other relevant supporting documentation. Interested firms are invited to submit responses, either electronically or via hard copy. NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: Ms. Carolyn Schwierk, Contract Specialist, US Army TACOM-ARDEC, AMSTA-AQ-APA, Bldg. 10, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000 or by email: schwierk@pica.army.mil, phone: (973) 724-5369.
