The Aeronautical Systems Center OL-WMGK is anticipating the purchase of approximately two hundred containers for the AGM-142 and AGM-130 missiles, both for the All-Up-Rounds (AUR) and individual components of the AURs. The AGM-142 program includes approximately 126 AUR U.S. and Foreign Military Sales CNU-496/E (AUR AGM-142) containers as well as the following (all numbers are approximate): 10 Pod Containers (CNU-570/E); 5 Seeker containers (CNU-567/E); 2 Control Section Containers (CNU-568/E); 2 Electronic Section Containers (CNU-566/E); 2 Fixed Data Link Containers (CNU-564/E); 2 Slide-in Data Link containers (CNU-563/E); 2 DLP Comm. DRW Containers (CNU-569/E); 2 DLP Electronic DRW Containers (CNU-565/E); 4 DLP Antenna Containers (CNU-562/E);and 3 Battery containers(CNU-559/E). The AGM-130 program includes approximately 30 AUR CNU-578/E containers. A time-and-materials CLIN will be included for container piece parts required by both AGM programs. The requirements for the containers for both programs are as follows: A technical library is available at 368 Adams Ave, Valparaiso, FL 32580, with a technical data package consisting of production specifications and engineering drawings. Please contact Ms Wicker of Semcor, Inc (850) 678-7887. Level III drawings and prime item product fabrication specifications are available. This requirement includes fabrication of production containers after successfully fabricating one preproduction sample container for each container design (the preproduction sample container will count as a single contract deliverable in the total quantity of each container design), completing qualification preproduction tests, and completing the physical configuration audit. A preproduction sample is required (about 160 days after contract award), with first container delivery within 90 days after preproduction approval/physical configuration audit. All preproduction tests and the physical configuration audit are required prior to release for production, as identified in the specifications.Source selection procedures (FAR 15.101-1, Tradeoff Process) are currently envisioned. This contract will be a "build to print" firm fixed price contract. Offerors for this contract should be experienced in economical fabrication techniques (welding, machining, sheet metal cutting, etc.), and are required to build aluminum containers to specs. These are complex items due to the flatness and straightness requirements, and the necessity for the container to seal (a leak check will be required). This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under SIC Code 3769 for businesses up to 1,000 employees. Interested parties must submit a written request for proposal to the contracting office no later than 20 days from the publication of this announcement.
