- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island intends to issue a competitive, Request for Proposal (RFP) W52P1J-11-R-0017 for the M142 Multi-Purpose Firing Device, NSN: 1375-01-040-1526, DODIC: ML03, on or around 12 January 2012 with an estimated closing date of 45 days after issuance. The M142 Firing Device RFP will be totally set-aside for small business participation in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.502-2; with an applicable NAICS code of 332993, Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing; size standard of 1500 employees. The RFP will solicit proposals for a single firm-fixed price contract for a base quantity of 113,792 each M142 Firing Devices; however the Government will reserve the right to award a 10% variance (+/-) of the solicited base quantity (to nearest even unit pack). The RFP will also contain an evaluated option provision for a quantity of no greater than 50% of the base award (to nearest even unit pack); the total option quantity will be available for execution for 365 days from date of base award. First Article Test will be required for the M142 Firing Device and offerors must be able to conduct/complete First Article Test and submit FAT report within 330 days after contract award date. Production deliveries are required to commence within 420 days after award. The contract award will be based upon a best value evaluation IAW FAR 15.101-1. The specific evaluation factors, instructions to offerors and basis for evaluation will be contained within the RFP. This solicitation will include a new quality clause, "Process Capability, Control, and Improvement Requirements (PCCI)", local clause 52.246-4017, dated May 2011. The PCCI clause is intended to eventually replace the current quality clause entitled, "Statistical Process Control (SPC)", local clause 52.246-4506, dated Mar 2006. Both the PCCI and the SPC clauses will be included in the RFP, but the resultant contract will only be awarded with either the PCCI or SPC clause (with corresponding data requirements), but will not include both. The RFP will request separate Contract Line Item pricing for SPC clause implementation or PCCI clause implementation. The PCCI clause has a companion Review Guide, which explains each paragraph of the clause and contains implementation guidance. For this RFP, the PCCI clause will have option (b)(3) selected for identifying characteristics for process control (see pages 12 and 15 of the review guide). The guide can be accessed at the following link (the PCCI Review Guide is the last item on the page): http://www.aschq.army.mil/ac/aais/ioc/index.htm The USG is planning to host a pre-proposal conference since this will be the first solicitation released with the PCCI clause. The purpose of the pre-proposal conference will be to provide an overview of important aspects of the RFP, address offeror questions to date; and to provide an overview, methodology, and training for the new PCCI clause. The pre-proposal conference will also provide opportunity for one-on-one sessions between the Government and potential offerors. The pre-proposal conference will be held on Rock Island Arsenal, IL, on or about 01 February 2012. Exact details regarding the date, location, and registration information will be provided with the RFP, along with another industry special notice in Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). The Technical Data Package (TDP) for the M142 Firing Device is Distribution Statement D - Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only, and contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act.
