- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Joint Munitions & Lethality ContractingCenter, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 intends to issue an Invitation for Sealed Bids for the production of the M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug. It is the intention of the Government that the procurement shall be open to three small businesses (Medico Industries Inc., PA; Coronet Machinery, NY and J&M Machine Products, Inc., MI) that have a proven capability to produce lifting plugs. The Invitation for Sealed Bids is intended to be issued under restricted competition using 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only One Responsible Source. The intended contract will be for a firm fixed price effort for one production year. The intended quantity for this procurement is 100,000 each M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plugs with delivery beginning 90 days after contract award at a monthly delivery rate of 10,000 each. The 155mm, HE, M795 Projectile is comprised of three components: the Shell Body, the Wooden Pallet, and the Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug. The Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug is installed for transportation and handling purposes in the 155mm, HE, M795. Before firing, the plug is removed and a detonating fuse is installed in the nose of the projectile. The lifting plug acts as a shock absorber in the critical nose area of the projectile where high stress may occur. The plug has the design capability of bending under low stresses and breaking if the stresses become too high. Under high stress, the lifting plug will shear in a way that will prevent the fuse from being installed. The Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug renders the projectile safe and unusable if it is inadvertently subjected to a drop on its nose that exceeds design limits. The Lifting Plug is made from malleable iron casting (i.e. ASTM A47 or ASTM A602), with a 2.000-12 UNS thread, a flange diameter of approximately 3.80 inches and an outer loop diameter of approximately 1.80 inches. Funds are available for this acquisition. It is the intention of the Government that the Invitation for Sealed Bids, which will address a requirement to produce the M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug, will be released within 15 days of the release of this synopsis. Point of contact for this requirement is Peter Vincenti, CCJM-CA Bldg. 9, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000. Email: peter.vincenti@us.army.mil.
