- Description
- NAICS Code: 335999: The government is seeking sources to deliver and install pneumatic multi-purpose, multi-use target systems at several Marine Corps Installations. The target systems will be somewhat similar but will have specific differences at each location as set forth below. In general, pneumatic operating systems to power the ranges are preferred. The targets must be placed 5-6 feet on center and be capable of turning 90 degrees to repeatedly face and face away from the shooter. The target holders must be designed to hold a standard military ?E-type? silhouette (20? x 40?) without modification and be designed using material that will not allow ricochets. Concrete firing lines would be installed at the 25, 15 and 7 yard lines. All firing lines must be installed at precise distances. Computer control systems are required and must include a removable control box and must include a ?Toughbook? type laptop computer (Mil Std 810F compliant) for automatic operation. The computer must be fully installed with programmable, ?Windows-type? software to operate the targetry according to standard Marine Corps marksmanship standards. The system must be programmable to allow facing of any and/or all targets simultaneously. The operating system must in clude an air compressor with dryer package to include: a pressure gauge, regulator, filter, an air-cooled after-cooler, and a desiccant dryer assembly. A shelter must be provided to protect the compressor and its components from the elements. Where ever possible, normal 110 volt (house) power is desired to run the compressor. At Puuloa, MCB Hawaii, E and F ranges are adjacent and identically configured. The existing target arrays are set 25 yards from the existing firing line and thus 25 to 30 yards in front of the impact berm. This allows any round that is not fired from the standing or off-hand position to go high, miss the impact berm and impact far into the Pacific Ocean immediately behind the berm. The contractor would be required to remove the existing target system along with the current protective berm. Dirt from the existing protective berms could be added to the existing impact berm. Concrete, blocks and stone must be removed from the range. The contractor would then install the target array on a line 50 yards from the existing firing line. After removal of the existing target system and berm, the contractor would install a bank of twenty-five (25) turning targets on each range to be placed in a position 50 yards forward of the existing firing line. Existing target mechanisms mu st be re-used where ever possible. The installation must include installation of a protective barrier in front of the targets to protect the target mechanism and a small structure to protect the compressor from inclement weather. Ricochet producing target mechanisms must be below the protective barrier in all cases. The ranges have adequate impact barriers behind the targets. C Range at Puuloa currently has no target system and has been operated using temporary target arrays. The range has an existing, adequate impact berm and protective side berms to separate it from adjacent ranges. The range is approximately 50 yards deep, is graded appropriately and has no established firing lines. The range is used for a variety of small arms to include pistols of all calibers, shotgun slugs and buckshot and rifles up to 5.56 mm. The contractor would install a bank of forty (40) turning targets to be placed in a position 50 yards forward of the firing line. A new concrete firing line approximately 8-10 feet wide would be installed at the 50 yard line. Benches and tables are not required or desired on the firing line. The targets must be placed 4-5 feet on center and be capable of turning 90 degrees to repeatedly face and face away from the shooter. At Stone Bay, MCB Camp Lejeune NC, two 50 target pistol ranges require replacement target systems. On the range known as the Mechanical Pistol Range, the existing target system is comprised of a 1950?s vintage bank of targets that move on rails by means of an electric motor. The targets can be moved to the 7, 15 and 25 yard lines to accomplish qualification, re-qualification and competition pistol shooting. The target carriage can also be moved to the 50 yard line for competition pistol matches. The existing target system has fallen into severe disrepair and is currently inoperable. The first part of this contract would require disassembly, removal and disposal of the existing target system and associated rails. After removal of the existing target system, the contractor would install a bank of fifty (50) turning targets to be placed in a position 25 yards forward of the existing firing line. New concrete firing lines would be installed at the 15 and 7 yard lines. A bank of 50 stationary, non-turning but removable targets will be installed at the 50 yard line. The installation must include installation of a protective barrier in front of the 25 yard line targets to protect the target mechanisms. Ricochet producing target mechanisms must be below the protective barrier in all cases. The range has adequate impact barriers or bullet traps behind the targets. At the second Stone Bay pistol range, the contractor would install two banks of fifty turning targets to be placed at 25 and 50 yards from the existing firing line. All target lines must be installed at precise distances to permit competition to NRA and national standards. A single pneumatic operating system to power both target banks is preferred. The range currently has adequate impact barriers behind the targets. Contract will involve removal of the existing target system. At Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC, the target system must contain 10-12 firing positions. Temporary targets have been used on this range previously with weapons including small arms up to 5.56mm rifle, .45 caliber pistol and 12 gauge shotgun. The targets would consist of a combination of stationary paper and steel targets in a variety of formats and moving targets at a ratio of 1:6 turning targets. The variety of stationary targets would include a bank of programmable turning silhouette targets, several sets of eight-inch knock-down steel head plates that can be remotely re-set, several 12? x 18? removable steel chest plates. The moving target would be capable of carrying cardboard or steel silhouettes over a distance of at least 20 feet and be programmable to move at speeds up to that of a man running. All steel targets must be of Brinell 500 hardness. The target system must be free standing, modular in design and must be able to be removed and re-installed if necessary. The target mechanisms are to be protected by an angled steel deflector plate of Brinell 500 hardness to preclude the need for a permanent protective front berm. The range has an adequate impact berm already in place. This range will not include any concrete firing lines. At MCB Camp Butler, Okinawa 12 target systems are required as an addition to the target system recently installed. They must include a combination of targets including standard turners, steel head and chest plates and movers. The turning targets must be programmable and able to face 90 degrees simultaneously, individually or in groups. The system must also have a variety of stationary steel targets would include two sets of eight-inch knock-down steel head plates that can be remotely re-set and at least four 12? x 18? removable steel chest plates. It must include a moving target capable of carrying cardboard or steel silhouettes over a distance of at least 20 feet at variable speeds up to that of a man running. All steel targets must be of Brinell 500 hardness. The target mechanisms are to be protected by an angled steel deflector plate of Brinell 500 hardness to preclude the need for a permanent protective front berm. Additional targets must be compatible with the con trol system and operating system recently installed. At Camp Fuji, MCB Camp Butler, Japan, the requirement exists for a mobile target system for use with small arms up to 5.56mm rifle, .45 caliber pistol and 12 gauge shotgun. The target system must be self-contained with a generator and compressor on a trailer capable of being pulled by a full sized pickup truck or HMMWV. Tongue weight must not exceed 300 pounds. The system must have at least six turning targets with holders that accommodate standard military ?E? silhouettes measuring 20 x 40 inches. The turning targets must be programmable and able to face 90 degrees simultaneously, individually or in groups. The system must also have a variety of stationary steel targets would include two sets of eight-inch knock-down steel head plates that can be remotely re-set and at least four 12? x 18? removable steel chest plates. It must include a moving target capable of carrying cardboard or steel silhouettes over a distance of at least 20 feet at variable speeds up to that o f a man running. All steel targets must be of Brinell 500 hardness. The target mechanisms are to be protected by an angled steel deflector plate of Brinell 500 hardness to preclude the need for a permanent protective front berm. Removable kevlar-type covers and steel protective plates must be provided to protect the trailer tires from errant rounds and splash. MCB Camp Pendleton has the requirement for target systems at two separate locations. The target system at Range 216 must contain 16-20 firing positions and Range 223A can accommodate 22-26 firing positions. Temporary targets have been used on this range previously with weapons including small arms up to 5.56mm rifle, .45 caliber pistol and 12 gauge shotgun. The targets would consist of a combination of stationary paper and steel targets in a variety of formats and moving targets at a ratio of 1:6 turning targets. The variety of stationary targets would include a bank of programmable turning silhouette targets, several sets of eight-inch knock-down steel head plates that can be remotely re-set, several 12? x 18? removable steel chest plates. The moving target would be capable of carrying cardboard or steel silhouettes over a distance of at least 20 feet and be programmable to move at speeds up to that of a man running. All steel targets must be of Brinell 500 hardness. The target system must be free standing, modular in design and must be able to be removed and re-installed if necessary. The target mechanisms are to be protected by an angled steel deflector plate of Brinell 500 hardness to preclude the need for a permanent protective front berm. The ranges have adequate impact berms already in place.
