NOTICE: RESPONSE DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 09 DECEMBER 2016 Description: Sources Sought - Armor Hardware, Turret Systems and Platform Integration Kits Market Survey: W15QKN-17-X-07W4 The US Army, Army Contracting Command, New Jersey on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons (PM-SW), located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for procurement of Armor Hardware, Turret Systems and Platform Integration Kits (PIKs). The Armor Hardware consists of Gunner Protection Panels and Kits (e.g. Objective Gunner Protection Kits (OGPK) that may include mechanical, electrical and electromechanical components. The turret system consists of hatch assembly, slew bearing and gear ring for tactical vehicles, interfacing with Gunner Protection Kits. The PIKs provide the mechanical and electrical interfaces to integrate Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to a variety of U.S. Government (USG) platforms. This notice is to determine if there are potential sources capable of fabricating the required Armor Hardware, Turret System and PIKs components using both traditional and non-traditional manufacturing methods and techniques. These components often utilize both traditional and exotic materials, may include exceptionally high tolerances and often utilize precise features. In addition to the mechanical components this notice is to determine if the same potential sources are capable of providing engineering support services (e.g. engineering drawing support, minor design efforts) and deliver complete Armor hardware, Turret System kits, PIKs and assemblies that include cable harness assemblies, gunner accessory package (GAP), turret drive motors, controllers and transparent armor in accordance with USG provided Technical Data Packages (TDPs) that may include source-controlled, non-developmental, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) items. This notice is also to obtain information regarding industrial capability on production rate. The USG will develop a separate TDP for each Armor Hardware, Turret Systems, and PIK. The contractor shall manufacture each in accordance with the TDP provided by the USG. The production requirement for this effort is at an estimated total of 5000 kits and an estimated range of 50-100 kits per month with a capability to ramp up to 200-300 kits per month. The Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for the Armor Hardware, Turret Systems, and PIK are categorized as Distribution D and are restricted. These TDPs contain technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq.) or Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C., App 2401, et seq.), as amended.
