- DESCRIPTION: The US Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems (OPM-MAS), is seeking sources capable of delivering a 120mm, Advanced Multi-Purpose (AMP), XM1147 High Explosive, Multi-Purpose with Tracer (HEMP-T) cartridge. The AMP XM1147 HEMP-T is being developed for the Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT). The round will provide the Warfighter with new capabilities to defeat Anti Tank Guided Missile Teams (ATGM) / dismounted infantry and breach double reinforced concrete walls. Additionally, the XM1147 consolidates the capabilities of four existing 120mm munitions, resulting in a reduced logistical burden while also allowing the Warfighter to battlecarry a single munition for multiple engagement scenarios. SPECIFICATION: The cartridge must be designed to meet all the requirements in the US Army performance specification, which will be included with the Request for Proposal (RFP). A Government Technical Data Package (TDP) will also be available for informational purposes once the draft RFP has been released. All potential bidders must understand that the Government TDP is not fully compliant with all the requirements in the performance specification at this time. However, the TDP may be used to assist bidders in reaching a design solution that meets all the performance specification requirements. PLANNED ACQUISITION: The potential requirement is for FY15 - FY21 which will include a two-phased Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) (EMD Demonstration Phase I (FY15-FY16) and EMD Completion Phase II (FY16-FY19), Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) (FY19) and two (2) Full Rate Production Options (FY20-FY21). LRIP will consist of manufacturing up to 700 ( 20%) cartridges. Full Rate Production will consist of manufacturing approximately 3,500 ( 20%) cartridges per year. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: All interested parties should submit a description of their capabilities within 30 days of this notice to: US Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, ACC-NJ, Stephanie G. Kless, Picatinny, NJ 07806-5000 or by email to: stephanie.g.kless.civ@mail.mil.
