COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 28,1997 PSA#1792Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (Code 2.0), 1421 Jefferson Davis
Hwy, Arlington, Va 22243-5120 A -- PENETRATING BLAST/FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD SYSTEM FOR JSOW POC
Contact, Sheila McGlynn, Phone (703)604-6100 SOURCES SOUGHT PENETRATING
BLAST/FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD SYSTEM FOR JSOW. NAVAIR Synopsis NO.
20019-97 ommitted information concerning demonstrated impact angles and
velocities. The due date for responses, 14 days from publication of
NAVAIR Synopsis No. 200019-97, remains unchnaged. Accordingly, the
synopsis is revised as follows. The Naval Air Systems Command is
conducting a market survey to locate interested sources who qualify to
provide ten (10) penetrating blast/fragment warhead systems capable of
integration with the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) for effectiveness and
insensitive munitions testing by October 1997 (6 months after receipt
of order). The off-the-shelf warhead system must be designed and built,
ready for comparative testing and evaluation. The warhead system shall
have demonstrated dynamic testing which shows the capability to
destroy Command and Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I)
buildings and bridge piors (approximately equivalent to perforation of
5' of 5,000 psi reinforced concrete) at impact angles greater than 45
degrees off normal to the surface and at impact velocities not greater
than 600 feet per second. The warhead system shall also have
demonstrated the ability to provide effective blast and fragmentation
damage after perforation of the target exterior. The system shall meet
MIL-STD-2105 Insensitive Munitions and MIL-STD-1316D Fuze Safety
requirements. The system must weigh no more than 550 pounds and shall
be less than 68" in length and 12.5" in diameter. The warhead system
should be producible and affordable (the target price for test articles
is less than $75K in FY97 dollars). The intent of this demonstration is
to provide data for future evaluation of warhead candidates for an
upgrade to the JSOW Unitary program. All interested firms should
provide pertinent information concerning current in-house capabilities
and practices; summary of test data on off-the-shelf warhead systems;
demonstrated ability, and successful and timely completion of similar
work as demonstrated by a listing of past commercial and military
customers, contract numbers, points of contact and work descriptions.
This announcement is a request for information only and is not an RFP
or announcement of solicitation. The intent of this announcement is to
identify sources for the procurement of test articles. If testing
satisfies the U.S. Navy's needs, the system will be considered in a
future evaluation for integration in the JSOW Unitary weapon.
Activities which fail to respond to this notice will not be considered
for this comparative testing. No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to
this synopsis. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the
evaluation. Responses are required not later than 14 calendar days
after publication of NAVAIR Synopsis No. 20019-97. Responses should be
addressed to Commander, Naval Air Systems Command, 1421 Jefferson
Davis Highway, Jefferson Plaza #1, Room 176, ATTN: Sheila McGlynn,
