- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, on behalf of the Project Director for Joint Products, intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed price contract to General Dynamics - Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS), Garland, Texas, for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2023 requirements of the MK80 Series General Purpose (GP) Bomb Bodies, which consists of the following components: ITEM NSN MK82-1 Bomb Body 1325-00-585-3841 MK82-6 Bomb Body 1325-01-559-1663 MK83-4 Bomb Body 1325-00-104-7268 MK83-7 Bomb Body 1325-01-564-9947 MK84-4 Bomb Body 1325-01-089-1335 MK84-10 Bomb Body 1325-01-548-1296 The MK-80 Series GP bombs are used as building blocks for numerous variants of non-guided and precision-guided air delivered munitions. Bomb bodies in the MK80 series are steel forged, similar in construction and include various configurations of 500 pound, 1,000 pound, and 2,000 pound bombs. The aerodynamically designed steel case houses a high explosive fill that accounts for 40-50 percent of the bomb's weight. The bomb bodies include wells in the nose and are tail compatible with proximity sensors and mechanical, electrical, or electronic fuzes. They can be used with conical, non-retard or retarding fin assemblies, or with electro-optical, laser and/or Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance airfoil kits. This proposed sole-source contract is under the authority of 10 United States Code 2304(c)(3), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-3, Industrial Mobilization; Engineering, Developmental, or Research Capability; or Expert Services. As implemented by FAR 6.302-3(b)(1)(i) and (v), full and open competition need not be provided for when it is necessary to keep vital facilities or suppliers in business or make them available in the event of a national emergency and to create or maintain the required domestic capability for production of critical supplies by limiting competition to items manufactured in the United States or is outlying areas. GD-OTS is the only domestic producer that possesses the interest and the required manufacturing capabilities to manufacture the MK80 Series GP Bomb Bodies. The anticipated FY18 base quantity for this procurement is 2,184 MK82-1, 5,340 MK82-6 and 813 MK83-4 Bomb Bodies. This contract will also contain four evaluated options for FY19-22 requirements. The maximum contract quantity, including the base and option quantities, is 125,000 total for all configurations combined. The contract will also contain First Article Test requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals as this solicitation is restricted to GD-OTS, Garland, TX. All responsible sources, however, may submit a capability statement via email to Ms. Danielle M. Walters, Contract Specialist, at danielle.m.walters3.civ@mail.mil. The Agency will consider any such submission. A determination not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
