- Description
- Note: Solicitation number W52P1J-10-R-0182 is being replaced by Solicitation number W52P1J-14-R-0005 The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI), Rock Island Arsenal, IL, on behalf of the Office of Project Manager - Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement of the 105mm Projectile Gun Unit (PGU)-43/B Training Cartridge, PGU-44/B High Explosive (HE) Cartridge, and the PGU-45/B High Fragmentation (HF) Cartridge. This effort is for the Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) of these three cartridges for the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) for the AC-130 Gunship training and tactical missions. The CTG Artillery (ARTY) 105mm Training and Practice PGU-43/B Cartridge, DODIC CA22, NIIN 01-472-1854 is the AFSOC designation for the 105mm Inert Cartridge with Supplementary charge. It is made by taking an old stock Army M1 projectile, removing the Comp-B fill from the projectile body, refilling the projectile with inert filler, cavity drill and installation of a fuze well cup and reinstalling the TNT supplementary charge. The projectile is mated with a CYU-1B brass cartridge case (same cartridge case as the Army M14) containing the M28A2 percussion primer and the M67 propelling charge. The round is fitted with a M739A1 or the M557 fuze depending on fuze availability. LAP of the round requires crimping the cartridge case to the projectile and packaging into PA71/A containers which are then placed in a wire-bound box that holds 39 PGU-43/B cartridges. The CTG ARTY 105mm HE PGU-44/B Cartridge, DODIC CA34, NIIN 01-515-9269 is the AFSOC designation for the 105mm Cartridge (similar to the Army 105mm HE M1 (MOD) Cartridge). It consists of a refurbished Army M1 projectile body that is filled with approximately 5 lbs of Comp-B explosive, TNT Supplementary Charge, CYU-1/B brass cartridge case containing the M28A2 percussion primer and the M67 Propellant charge. The round is fitted with an FMU-153/B fuze. LAP of the round requires 200 percent x-ray inspection of the fill, crimping the cartridge case to the projectile and packaging into PA71/A containers which are then placed in the wire-bound box that holds 39 PGU-44/B cartridges. The CTG ARTY 105mm, HF, HE PGU-45/B Cartridge without Fuze, DODIC CA33, NIIN 01-514-8595 is the AFSOC designation for the 105mm HF, HE Cartridge. It consists of a HF projectile body that is filled with approximately 5 lbs of Comp-B explosive, TNT Supplementary Charge, CYU-1/B brass cartridge case containing the M28A2 percussion primer, and the M67 Propellant Charge. LAP of the round requires crimping the cartridge case to the projectile and packaging into PA71/A containers which are then placed in the wire bound box that holds 39 PGU-45/B cartridges. Competition for this effort will be limited to the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB), within the United States and Canada, under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(3), as implemented by FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(i), Industrial Mobilization; Engineering, Developmental, or Research Capability; or Expert Services.

The solicitation is intended to result in the single award of an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract with four ordering periods covering FY12-FY17 requirements. Award will be made to the best overall proposal, which is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. Each offeror will be evaluated against the solicitation criteria to determine if the offeror has the technical expertise, equipment, and personnel required to manufacture and manage the product in accordance with the solicitation requirements and delivery schedule as delineated in Section F of the solicitation. The Technical Data Package (TDP) is available for this acquisition. The Point of Contract for this notification and any requests/questions may be directed to Chet A.
