COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF OCTOBER 31,1996 PSA#1712CDR, MARCORSYSCOM, Code CTQ, 2033 Barnett Ave., Ste 315, Quantico, VA
22134-5010 10 -- SMALL ARMS TRAINING SYSTEMS (SESAMS) DUE 110196 POC Contact
Point is Terence J McGinn, CTQ2TM at fax (703)784-5826. The Marine
Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is issuing this Request for
Information (RFI). MARCORSYSCOM is presently conducting a market
investigation on the feasibility of using a Commercial Off the Shelf
(COTS) or Non-Developmental Items (NDI) to modify existing service
weapons in support of the Special Effects Small Arms Training System
(SESAMS). This system is a special effects marking system, used in the
training environment, that allows the individual shooter to use his
designated service weapon with a low velocity projectile at short
range. This system must provide normal environmental cues (recoil,
ejection, and immediate action), immediate target feedback, non-toxic
primers (objective) and non-toxic marking medium. This product will be
employed with the current standard and non- standard Marine Corps
small arms that deliver precision or have a need to deliver precision
fire. The following performance capabilities and characteristics apply
but will not be limited to: (a) Conversion kits will convert the
current small arms. (b) Conversion kits will allow for user
installation and maintenance. (c) No bore sight will be required once
converted. (d) Converted weapon will not be capable of firing live
ammunition. (e) The SESAMS bullet when fired, at any range, will not
penetrate human skin clothed in normal service uniform, will be
multiple colors and wash off with standard off-the-shelf detergent. (f)
The SESAMS converted weapons will cause no more wear beyond what is
expected from standard weapons fire. This notice does not constitute an
Invitation for Bids or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it is not a
commitment by the Marine Corps Systems Command to procure subject
equipment. Interested participants in this program should submit
documentation in support of their programs with a point of contact by
2 December 1996 to COMMANDER ATTN CTQ2TM MARCORSYSCOM 2033 BARNETT AVE
SUITE 315 QUANTICO VA 22134-5010. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS AT
THIS TIME. THE MARINE CORPS DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE
BASIS OF THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION OR OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE
INFORMATION SOLICITED. (0303) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0110 19961030\10-0004.SOL)
