- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS) intends to issue a Sole Source, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) modification WC864 Ball Powder to be used in Modular Artillery Charge Systems (MACS)� The�WC864 Ball Powder�is a loose spheroidal propellant for the center core igniter, which is a component of the MACS igniter assembly and is a component to support 155mm MACS (Modular Artillery Charge System) LAP (Load, Assemble, and Pack) production. �The 155mm M231 & M232-series propelling charges, known as MACS, consist of two (2) different propelling charges that provide a complete zoning solution for 155mm Artillery applications by using multiples of a basic increment. The M231 charges are used at lower zones (Zones 1 & 2), while M232-series charges are used at progressively higher zones as required. The WC864 Ball Powder is used as the igniter within the MACS end-item. This modification shall be issued under current contract W15QKN-19-D-0074 with St. Marks Powder. �This modification will increase the contract ceiling by $5,843,509.70, FROM: $2,553,710.00 TO: $8,397,219.70.� This modification will be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C.3204(c)(1); as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.� This modification is a result of the surge in requirements to support the Presidential Buyback effort. �Due to the fact that the contract ceiling has been met under the subject contract, the final Ordering Period 5 (OP5) unit prices for the WC864 Ball Powder are no longer valid.� As such, the Government is also looking to update CLIN 5001 (Ordering Period 5) and obtain updated Unit Prices and incorporate and additional quantity range.� The current OP5 on contract runs from 7/9/2023 through 7/8/2024, with deliveries to be made NLT 7/3/2025 and will remain the same unless notified by St. Marks Powder (SMP) of a necessary change.� Additionally, this modification will update FAR Clause 52.216-19. �All other contract terms remain unchanged and in full effect.� Appropriate and available funds are available for this acquisition. This announcement is for notification purposes only and shall NOT be construed as a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), nor is the Government obligated to issue an RFP. �Any information or exchanges between Contractors and the USG are at no additional cost and/or obligation to the USG.� Any questions can be directed to the point(s) of contact for this requirement; Alison Oggier, ACC-NJ at alison.r.oggier.civ@army.mil or Bethany Ficacci-Kretzmer, ACC-NJ at bethany.m.ficacci-kretzmer.civ@army.mil. �Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
