- Description
- The Joint Munitions & Lethality Life Cycle Management Command (JM&L LCMC)- Maneuver Ammo & Ground Systems Contracting Center at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 intends to procure on a Full and Open Competitive Basis the requirement for the manufacture and delivery of 5.56mm, M862 Short Range Training Ammunition (SRTA)Cartridges. The requirement will consist of one base year contract with four Option Years. The quantities will be determined based on the offerors offer. Different quantity ranges could be contemplated. This cartridge matches the trajectory of standard 5.56mm combat ammunition out to 25 Meters while having a maximum range of no greater than 250 Meters. This allows realistic training at sites where range restrictions prohibit the firing of standard 5.56mm ammunition. The M862 cartridge is used in the M16 family of weapons and requires the use of a modified weapon bolt, (the M2 training bolt) which converts the M16 from a gas-operated weapon to a blowback operation. The cartridge shall conform to the requirements of the M862 Performance Specification. If the cartridge design has previously been qualified by the government in accordance with the M862 performance specification, proof of qualification and any change to the original design that had been already approved by the Government shall be provided at time of proposal submission. Any change to a previously qualified design not reviewed and approved by the Government, will require the same testing and evaluation described in the solicitation for a non-qualified design. The design or any change to a qualified design must be qualified approximately within 120 days after contract award, specific time frame and other specific requirements will be provided at the solicitation. The competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) will be available for download approximately 2 April 2007 at http://procnet.pica.army.mil. Proposals will be required within thirty (30) days of the date of release of the RFP. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. Respondents must demonstrate a capability for high rate production and delivery of these cartridges. Any non-qualified sources or any unapproved change to an original qualified design, who would be interested in submitting a proposal, will be responsible to qualify their round at their own expense in order to be considered for award. Point of contact for this action is Louisa Mel??ndez, Contract Specialist, AMSML-AQ-MA, Building 10, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806, telephone 973-724-2910, email: melendez@pica.army.mil.
