MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: The Government is issuing this sources-sought announcement as part of a market survey. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is seeking prospective sources for existing and future technologies for blank discrimination magazines for all variants of the M4 Carbine and the M16 Rifle. The M4 is the current carbine, and the M16 is the current rifle in use by the United States Navy. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is seeking sources of blank discriminating magazines. A blank discriminating magazine will not allow live ammunition to be loaded, but will function as a typical non-discriminating magazine when loaded with blank ammunition to mitigate risks during training with blank ammunition. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit an initial synopsis (commonly referred to as "white paper"). This white paper should not exceed 10 pages (exclusive of supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc.), with an executive summary (short paragraph) on the effort.

Also provide any supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc. The response should also include all relevant business information including ROM costs. The Government may choose to visit, or host a visit from, any potential sources following the initial response.

At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This sources sought synopsis does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract in connection with this announcement.
