In an effort to increase competition and receipt of sufficient proposals, the Government intends to re-issue the opportunity for the production and delivery of the 60mm M721/M767, 81mm M819, and the 81mm M816/M853A1 Body Tube and Tail Cone (BTTC) assemblies for 60 days. � The 60mm M721/M767 BTTC Assemblies are used on the 60mm M721/M767 Illumination Cartridges.
