13 -- EXPLOSIVE BELLOWS, DETONATORS, AND CIRCUIT BOARDS SOL N00164-97-R-0030 POC Contact point, Mr. Gary Mundy, Contract Specialist, Code 1164EH, 812/854-1391, Fax 812-854-3465, E-Mail glm759@smtp.nwscc.sea06.navy.mil The Navy requires additional sources for manufacture of Explosive Bellows, Detonators, and Circuit Boards in support of the M1134A3E1 Linear Demolition Charge (LDC) fuze redesign efforts utilizing semi-conductor bridge (SCB) technology. The current fuze system is susceptible to static electricity which sometimes causes premature detonation. (This is classified as one of hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance (HERO)). Substantial modifications are required to improve the fuze system. No fuze utilizing SCB technology, which is inherently HERO resistant has passed testing and been certified for military use by the Weapons System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSERB). A sole source contract (N00164-97-C-0012) was awarded to Quantic Industries, Inc., 2751 San Juan Road, Hollister CA 95023, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements) on 6 December 1996 to provide Explosive Bellows and Detonators for use in testing and WSERB certification. An additional requirement, solicited under N00164-97-R-0011, has been synopsized on a sole-source basis to Quantic Industries to provide Explosive Bellows, Detonators, and Circuit Boards to meet current requirements through calendar 1998. The navy anticipates a requirement of 2000 each M1134A31 LDC fuzes per year through fiscal year 2001. To satisfy this requirement, an indefinite-delivery requirements contract is contemplated. We anticipate issuance of a competitive solicitation for Explosive Bellows, Detonators, and Circuit Boards in approximately July 1997. All interested sources may submit prior contract history information for similar supplies to the point of contact shown above. (0354)
