It is anticipated that multiple IDIQ contracts will be awarded for a basic period of five years with an option that may be exercised to extend each contract for an additional five year period. Each item shall be proposed upon individually and shall be evaluated separately. Should an RFP be released, and an offeror desires to propose on more than one item, a separate proposal shall be submitted for each item. The USG may also issue split awards on a given requirement in an effort to foster future competition. Potential contractors possessing the technical, financial and facility resources necessary to meet the Governments requirements will initially be qualified by being awarded an IDIQ contract and then compete for delivery orders as requirements arise. All facilities must have safety clearance to handle hazard classifications (i.e. 1.3G). Interested contractors should demonstrate that they possess the experience and capability, or that they can obtain such, necessary to fabricate, assemble and inspect the required quantities of Large Caliber Metal Parts and obtain the necessary equipment, facilities and tooling required to fabricate and deliver these Large Caliber Metal Parts at a high rate of production. The Large Caliber Metal Parts make up the shell bodies which are hollow cylindrical steel shells, topped by an open ogive-shaped nose, with a closed boattail at the rear of the projectile. The front end has a female thread that will be assembled with a lifting plug during transportation and handling. A metal rotating band encircles the projectile near the base end. There are two types of artillery shell bodies being procured; High Explosive (HE) and Smoke/Illuminating. For purposes of this market survey, the following approximate quantities represent a high rate of monthly production for each item: - Artillery 105mm Metal Parts: o M1 25,000 each - Artillery 155mm Metal Parts: o M107 25,000 each o M110A2 7,500 each o M485 6,000 each The information submitted may include an indication of willingness to invest in setting up a required production line.
