- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Rock Island Contracting Center, on behalf of The Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems, Picatinny, NJ and the Joint Munitions Center, Rock Island Arsenal are seeking sources for the 7.62x51mm or.308 caliber blank ammunition, or equivalent that will be compatible with a M14 rifle for the purpose of rendering military honors. SPECIFICATION: The ammunition must be built to acceptable Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) standards. The ammunition should allow a standard, unmodified M14 to fire without a blank firing adapter (BFA) and without automatically cycling the action, and allow the M14 to be manually cycled after each round is fired. PLANNED ACQUISITION: The Government is only seeking sources at this time. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: For Further Information - All interested parties should submit a description of their capabilities along with top level product drawing, propellant options, material used (case), dimensions, type of primer, style of closure (wadding/rosette crimp) lacquer material, production capability/capacity, production line dedication, safety confirmation/noise decibel and price per unit based on initial buy of 500k and possible future buys of 500k/year. The Government is also interested in a rough order of magnitude (ROM) of cost and schedule for production of A112 (individual cartridges) bottlenose version of the M82 blank ammunition at a rate of approximately one (1) million rounds annually. Information to be provided no later than 21 January 2011 to: US Army, Rock Island Arsenal, ATTN: Randy Slusser or by email to: randall.slusser@us.army.mil. This is a market survey, not a pre-solicitation notice. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part any private sector input as a result of this market survey.
