- Description
- The U.S Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, on behalf of the US Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for the manufacture, inspection, testing, and delivery of the STINGER M934E6 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly (Legacy Configuration) and the STINGER Proximity M934E7 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly with Conformal Antenna. This effort will support the United States' upgrade of STINGER Missiles under a Service Life Extension Program (SLEP). The baseline STINGER M934E6 Fuze is a complex electromechanical assembly integrating hybrid microelectronics, advanced inertial and centrifugal components and electro-explosive devices into a single fuze package. The M934E6 Fuze must interface with the Warhead Body Assembly which forms one of the main structural supports to the missile airframe and consists of a machined Titanium body configured with a Hard Target Sensor (HTS), Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter and an electrical cable assembly that interfaces between the fuze/warhead and missile sections. The STINGER M934E7 Proximity Fuzes and Warhead Body Assemblies with Antenna are complex electromechanical assemblies integrated with a Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) proximity sensor and conformal antenna into the existing baseline STINGER M934E6 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly configuration. The direct replacement of shelf-life expired legacy configuration fuzes and warhead body assemblies with new Proximity configuration fuzes and warhead body assemblies (with antenna) will enhance the missile capability to engage Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with a Proximity Detonation mode while maintaining the legacy fuzing detonation functions. The STINGER Proximity Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly with Antenna will provide a near miss capability against UAS targets while maintaining all legacy fuze functions against standard STINGER targets. The procurement of the legacy configuration STINGER M934E6 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly will be in direct support of active and potential Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case requirements. The STINGER M934E7 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly with conformal antenna must interface with the M258E7 Warhead Section and missile guidance section and flight motor. The M934E6 and M934E7 Fuzes and Warhead Body Assemblies (with and without conformal antenna) are to be Manufactured, First Article and Lot Acceptance tested in accordance with Technical Data Packages as defined in table 1. First Article samples will be required within seven (7) months of contract award and initial lot delivery will be within nine (9) months of contract award. All deliverable requirements will be delivered based upon a combination of both Proximity and Legacy configurations. The U.S. Government anticipates soliciting for offerors located within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB) for single award of a four (4) year, Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, utilizing a base year with three (3) additional, one (1) year ordering periods, for Fiscal Years 2014 - 2017. Each ordering period will include ranges for deliveries as follows: 125-250, 251-500, 501-1000, and 1001-2000. Potential candidates must have production line manufacturing tooling, inspection fixtures, mechanical vibration test equipment with thermal temperature capability, automated computer controlled in-process assembly and Lot Acceptance Test equipment stations, technical knowledge and expertise required to fulfill the M934E6 and M934E7 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly (with and without conformal antenna) requirements within the necessary delivery timeframe. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 332993 Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing. All responses should be prepared in MS Word or PDF format. Large files need to be compressed using WinZip (http://www.winzip.com). Responses should include a cover letter and at a minimum, provide the following: 1. A point of contact for your Company which will include the contact's name, address, website (if available), phone number, and email address, as well as the company Cage Code and Duns Number. Companies are to state their business size, NAICS Code, and any socio-economic considerations. 2. A summary of their company's capabilities to produce the M934E6 and M934E7 Fuze and Warhead Body Assembly. 3. A description of facilities/equipment (facilities must have sufficient safety clearance to handle hazard classification (i.e. 1.4S), manufacturing process, inspection capability, personnel, past experience (including RADAR sensors and conformal antennas) as a missile fuze and warhead body assembly producer, proven monthly production capacity of 90 to 270 units (including minimum sustainable and maximum attainable monthly productions rates of the above describe munitions or similar). 4. Identify potential subcontractors. 5. No technical data packages shall be provided under this Market Survey. This sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes only, and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of the market survey. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this survey. Any information provided will not be returned. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a separate solicitation notice will be published. All responsible, interested sources are encouraged to submit their capabilities/qualification data along with any questions no later than 22 November 2013 to the following: U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey(ACC-NJ), ATTN: Jillian Foley, ACC-NJ-CC, Building 10, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, email: jillian.foley.civ@mail.mil. NO TELEPHONE INQUIRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
