- NA NA PART:U.S. GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTS SUBPART: SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL CLASSCOD: 13?Ammunition and Explosives Potential Sources Sought. OFFADD: U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, Attn: AMSJM-CDC, Bldg 350, 6th floor, Rock island, IL 61299-6000. SUBJECT: SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND,CLUSTER GREEN STAR, M125A1; SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND,CLUSTER RED STAR, M158; SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND,CLUSTER WHITE STAR, M159; SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND,PARACHUTE RED STAR, M126A1; SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND, PARACHUTE WHITE STAR, M127A1; SIGNAL, ILLUMINATION GROUND, PARACHUTE GREEN STAR, M195 DUE 042503 POC is Mark Dorr, (309) 782-7099 DESC: The purpose of this Sources Sought/Market Survey is to identify production sources for the family of Hand Held Signals, M125A1 NSN 1370-00-629-2335; M158 NSN 1370-00-756-2591; M159 NSN 1370-00-756-2588; M12 6A1 NSN 1370-00-629-2336; M127A1 NSN 1360-00-753-1859; M195 NSN 137-00-182-3408. The family of hand held signals (HHS) is use for both daytime and nighttime signaling and nighttime signaling in the case of the M127A1. They are used all military services. The star clusters consist of five-star illuminant assemblies and a rocket motor pr opulsion assembly contained in a hand-held aluminum launching tube. The base of the launching tube contains a primer and an initiating charge. As shipped, the firing pin cap is assembled to the forward end and must be reversed for firing. Stabilizing fins on the tail assembly of rockets are folded parallel to the axis of the signal. A bolt, which also transfers the intiating charge flash to the propellant, extends into the center of the solid propellant which fills the propulsion assembly. The illuminant assembly is mounted on top of the propulsion assembly with a delay assembly and an expelling charge between. A label specifying firing procedures is secured to the body of the signal. The parachute signals consist of a parachute-suspended illuminant assembly and a rocket motor propulsion assembly contained in a hand-held aluminum launching tube. The base of the launching tube contains a primer and an initiating charge. As shipped, the f iring pin cap is assembled to the forward end and must be reversed for firing. Stabilizing fins on the tail assembly of rockets are folded parallel to the axis of the signal. A bolt, which also transfers the initiating charge flash to the propellant, exte nds into the center of the solid propellant, which fills the propulsion assembly. The parachute/illuminant assembly is mounted on top of the propulsion assembly with a delay assembly and an expelling charge between them. The parachute with suspension chor ds is packed on top of the illuminant, and the tube end is sealed with a cork disk (rocket barrel seal). A label specifying firing procedures is secured to the body of the signal. The propelling charge for both cluster and parachute type signals is a black powder composition with about 9% calcium carbonate. Black powder is used for the initiating and expelling charge for both cluster and parachute signals. The primer is percussion no. 68 and is used in both cluster and parachute signals.
