- Description
- The US Army Contracting Command (ACC)-New Jersey located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, in support of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (OPM-CAS) is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB) capable to produce the M739A1 Point Detonating (PD)/Delay (DLY) Fuze. The purpose of this market survey is to obtain current information on capability of potential sources to provide this fuze to the warfighter in the FY16-20 timeframe. The Government estimates that approximately 1.25M M739A1 fuzes would be purchased under this five year Firm Fixed Price contract. The M739A1 PD Fuze is the Army's preferred, primary fuze for 105mm and 155mm projectiles to address point detonating/delay artillery functions. The M739A1 fuze contains an Impact Delay Module (IDM) assembly. The IDM provides fuze initiation delay based upon the completion of mechanical actions caused by projectile deceleration and will function immediately after passing through the target. In addition to the M739A1 Fuze, the M99 Stab Detonator, the M55 Stab Detonator, Explosive Lead, PBXN-5 Explosive and HMX Grade B Explosive which are contained within the Fuze are also restricted to competition within the NTIB. The Technical Data Package will be made available through the Procuring Contracting Officer upon request after the Request for Proposal is issued. To be considered as a capable source for this effort, all interested parties must submit the requested information as follows: a) Submit a summary that includes a brief description of the contractor's capabilities to include: parent organizations, name/address/point of contact identification/email address, capabilities; b) Manufacturing past experience with artillery (105mm and 155mm) fuzes within the last 10 years; c) Provide evidence of proven monthly production of minimum rate of 15K fuzes a month capacity and/or potential capacity; d) A description of facilities/equipment, manufacturing processes, inspection capability, and personnel; e) The ability to acquire facilities with sufficient safety clearance to handle, store, and transport energetic materials, components and explosively loaded fuzes; and f) Demonstrate knowledge with ballistic testing including propellants, projectiles, ammunition compatibility, weapon systems and interfacing with Test Facilities; possible partnering/teaming arrangements; if the company is a large or small business and CAGE Code. This market survey is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the US Government. All information submitted will be held in a confidential status. Interested firms should provide this requested information to Joseph Determan at joseph.e.determan2.civ@mail.mil within 30 calendar days of this publication by electronic mail. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The Government will accept written questions by email. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this market survey.
