Description

Market Survey for: Cartridge, 105mm: Illuminating, M314A3 Visible Light (VL) and Cartridge, 105mm: Illuminating, M1064 Infrared (IR) The US Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, IL, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (OPM CAS), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is conducting a Market Survey to identify potential sources that are capable of supplying the following items: Cartridge, 105mm: Illuminating, M314A3 Visible Light (VL); NSN: 1315-01-527-4400 Cartridge, 105mm: Illuminating, M1064 Infrared (IR); NSN: 1315-01-562-3730 The 105mm M314A3 and M1064 are identical illuminating cartridges differing only in the performance of their Illuminating Candles. While the M314A3 utilizes a visible light illumination composition, the M1064 provides enhanced night time performance by using an infrared composition. Both cartridges are fired with the M762 series Electronic Time Fuze from the M119 series Howitzer. They are a ballistic match to one another and use the same firing solutions. The United States Government (USG) anticipates using a best value strategy to award a single Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract with five one-year ordering periods with multiple ordering range quantities. The expected period of performance is FY 2015 through FY 2019. The USG expects to restrict this effort to the National Technology Industrial Base.
