- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems (OPM-MAS) is contemplating the issuance of multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) to potential sources which are capable of providing: 1. Multiple variants of Foreign, Commercial and Non-Standard Ammunition (NSA) and ammunition related items in accordance with the attached Master Statement of Work (SOW) and referenced General and Family Specifications for Non-Standard Ammunition, and 2. Foreign Non-Standard Mortar Weapon Systems (NS MWS). SPECIFICATIONS: Interested sources shall demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements set forth in the General and Family Specifications for Non Standard Ammunition and Master SOW by submitting a sample Technical Data Package (TDP) for PG 7VM ammunition and the M69A 82mm Mortar Weapon System. Packaging and markings for hazardous material must comply with (1.) the requirements for the mode of transportation and (2.) the applicable performance packaging contained in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG). Interested sources must have the capability to supply and deliver the NSA, ammunition related items or NS MWS to multiple locations around the United States and OCONUS locations to support the U.S. Government's mission in accordance with all applicable U.S. and foreign regulations for the transit of NSA and NS MWS. Sources shall obtain and maintain proper registrations and licenses for conducting these types of businesses. Interested sources must demonstrate ISO 9001 certification or compliance, must be registered with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, must hold a Federal Firearms License (FFL) required to ship ammunition items and weapons into the US, and must demonstrate to DCMA the financial capability to support orders with Foreign suppliers. All interested sources meeting the above criteria must also be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM) and maintain an active status. Registration in no way guarantees that a BOA will be issued. PLANNED ACQUISITION: The planned acquisition approach is to establish multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) with sources capable of providing multiple variants of NSA, ammunition related items and NS MWS. The requirements will range from approximately $500,000 - $22,000,000. Each BOA requirement will be synopsized, providing for the opportunity for additional qualified sources to submit their capabilities and become BOA Holders for future orders, if deemed capable. The period of performance for the BOAs will be from date of issuance to 1 July 2017. The Government does not anticipate conducting an Industry Day. NOTICE: The contemplated BOA will contain the clause at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), 252.204-7008, Requirements for Contracts Involving Export-Controlled Items.
