13 -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR PRODUCTION OF ELECTRONIC FUZES SOL DAAE30-99-R-0101 DUE 120898 POC Shelley R. Czapkewicz, Contract Specialist, (973) 724-3985 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/SRCSgt/110519980/110519980.htm. E-MAIL: Shelley R. Czapkewicz, sczapkew@pica.army.mil. The US Army TACOM-ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal seeks sources for the production of Electronic Fuzes for the Penetration Augmented Munition (PAM), M150. The PAM is a unique, aggressive design, challenging the state of the art in demolition and will be utilized by Special Operation Forces (SOF) to defeat large reinforced bridge piers. The PAM is a multi-stage munition as follows: a Tandem Forward Charge (TFC) which provides a pilot hole in the target, a Follow Through Charge (FTC) which buries itself in the target and then detonates, a Propulsion System which accelerates the FTC so that it will penetrate to the proper depth in the target, and an Electronic Fuzing System (SCS) for the initiation of the FTC propulsion, the FTC, and the TFC using Explosive Foil Initiators (EFIs). The effort for which we are seeking sources is part of the Electronic Fuzing System, the SCS2, which is used to initiate the FTC after it has embedded in the target. The estimated quantity for SCS2 is 300-400 units. A follow on build for up to 1,100 units is also possible. Please note that no funding is available for facilitization. Draft drawings for this effort are available, upon request. However, if interested in obtaining a copy of the (draft) drawings, the following forms must be submitted. The forms are DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement and AMSTA-AR Form 1350, Technical Data Request Questionnaire. Release of the (draft) drawings is contingent upon receipt, review and approval of these forms. Sources should submit information to demonstrate, at a minimum, the following: a) production capabilities to include machining of aluminum components, assembly of electronic circuit boards and working with hard set urethane foam potting compounds; b) expertise in trouble shooting, failure analysis and corrective action; c) capability in handling, assembly, storage, testing and safety of explosives and d) a secret clearance. This is not a Request for Proposals and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Army. Please see Numbered Notes 25 and 26. Posted 11/05/98 (D-SN268760). (0309)
