- Description
- Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) intends to award a sole source contract to American Rhienmetall Munitions, 925 Corporate Dr., Suite 315, Stafford, Virginia, 22554 to provide 5,500 rounds of 30mm x 173mm Target Practice Frangible Discarding Sabot with Tracer (TPFDS-T) ammunition in support of the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) Program. The EFV utilizes 30mm x 173mm APFSDS-T ammunition for operational use, but requires the TPFDS-T ammunition for training and demonstration purposes. The TPFDS-T ammunition will be compatible with the 30mm MK 44 Automatic Gun, and match the exterior ballistic performance of the 30mm x 173mm APFSDS-T ammunition to tactical ranges. In addition, the TPFDS-T will have a U.S. qualified and approved propellant and ignition system, a time of flight within 0.5 seconds of 30mm x 173mm APFSDS-T ammunition throughout a range of 2,000 meters, and the Tracer must replicate the spectral signature of the 30mm x 173mm APFSDS-T. Fina! lly, the TPFDS-T ammunition must have already been Surface Danger Zone (SDZ) Tested at an authorized US Government Proven Ground. The SDZ test is required for all ammunition fired on any U.S. Marine Corps or U.S. Army Base per Army Regulation 385-63 and Marine Corps Order 3570.1B. Currently, Rheinmetall is the only known manufacturer of U.S. Government SDZ tested 30mm x 173mm TPFDS-T ammunition that meets the Government's specifications. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. Numbered Note 22 applies to this acquisition.
