- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command, Precision Strike Weapons Program Office (PMA-201), intends to award as a single firm-fixed price (FFP) contract as a Limited Competition between ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS INC. (ATK) (CAGE Code: 70272) or KDI PRECISION PRODUCTS, INC/L-3 COM (L-3) (CAGE Code: 66126), for the acquisition of the FMU-139C/B Electronic Bomb Fuze, (NSNs: 1325-01-535-6160, 1325-01-535-6164, 1325-01-517-2822 and/or 1325-01-517-2828). The objective of this effort is to contract with either of the two currently approved and qualified sources to produce and deliver a limited quantity of FMU-139C/B fuzes. This competition is restricted to existing qualified sources and this award will not be delayed to qualify additional sources. Both of the above listed firms are currently under contract to produce and deliver FMU-139C/B fuzes in accordance with FMU-139C/B Electronic Bomb Fuze Performance Specification PMA-201-03-003. In addition, both firms were found, via a previous limited competition effort, to have technically acceptable proposals for the production of FMU-139C/B fuzes produced in accordance with Performance Specification PMA-201-03-003A. L-3 is currently under contract, and in production to deliver, FMU-139C/B fuzes in accordance with Performance Specification PMA-201-03-003A. The production units intended to be procured under this effort shall meet the requirements of the Performance Specification PMA201-03-003A. It is noted that the First Article Test (FAT) requirement is part of the specification. Use of qualified sources will mitigate risk of invalidation of previously obtained FMU-139C/B safety certifications and flight clearances for military aircraft. The above listed firms are the Original Equipment Manufacturers for their respective designs of the FMU-139C/B fuze and all associated technical data is proprietary. As the only designers, developers, manufacturers and suppliers of the FMU-139C/B fuze, the above listed firms possess the peculiar engineering capability, resources, expertise, intricate knowledge and proprietary technical data necessary to satisfy the Government's need and schedule requirements for the FMU-139C/B fuze.
