- Description
- The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806- 5000 is interested in acquiring information on commercially available or non- developmental item (NDI) suppressors that will reduce the baseline muzzle flash, blast and sound signatures of the Army?s XM107 Caliber .50 rifle system (also commercially available as the Barrett M82A1-M). The XM107 is a rapid- fire; man portable, shoulder-fired, recoil operated semi-automatic system utilizing military standard .50 caliber ammunition. The primary components of the system consist of a rifle, day optical sighting system and hard carrying case(s). It is requested, but not required, that interested companies submit one (1) sample system as part of their information submission. These information samples will be used as an indication that companies have a system readily available. Information samples will be returned in, ?as tested? condition. Potential contractors must be able to produce a minimum of 60 systems per month, with a production surge capability to 90 systems per month. The suppressor must be able to reduce the baseline signatures of the XM107 without adversely affecting or degrading weapon performance/accuracy, functionality, recoil, safety and reliability. It must also be modular enough to be quickly and easily installed and removed by the operator without requiring the use of special tools not readily available to the operator. If your firm has an existing, commercially available or non-developmental item, which meets the specified requirements, please provide brochures or other information relative to the performance and physical characteristics (i.e. size, weight, etc.) of your product. This is a market survey, not a pre-solicitation notice. There is no formal solicitation available at this time. No award will be made as a result of this market survey. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of this market survey.
