- Description
- The US Army TCAOM-ARDEC is conducting a Market Survey to identify potential sources for a perchlorate free flash-bang pyrotechnic composition. The essential criteria included (but not limited to) are: compositions should provide performance comparable to aluminum-perchlorate composition; compositions including all ingredients are environmentally compatible; compositions are storage stable; compositions are safe for handling and manufacturing; and replacement oxidizers, fuels, or components are economically available. Respondents should indicate the maturity and current applications (if any) of the proposed compositions. Interested companies that believe they can meet the above requirements shall provide the U.S. Army a description of their candidates including a brief summary of their company?s capabilities in R&D, manufacturing, and testing. A follow-up detailed questionnaire may be provided to survey respondents and on- site visits may be performed as a result of further analysis. Samples from respondents may be purchased for in-house preliminary testing and evaluation. Also, interested companies should provide the name, address, point-of-contact with telephone number and e-mail address, size of business (small/large). The information must be submitted within 30 calendar days from the date of this publication to: U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC AMSTA-AR-WEA, ATTN: Mr. Gary Chen Energetics & Warheads Division, Bldg. 1509 Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07850 E-mail: gche@pica.army.mil If there are any technical questions, please contact Mr. Gary Chen @ (973) 724- 2663. This Market Survey is for planning purpose only and should not be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Market Survey or otherwise pay for information solicited. The information you provide will only be used by the U.S. Army in developing its acquisition approach for future alternate oxidizer requirements.
