A -- ARTILLERY FUZE SOL DAAE30-99-R-0506 DUE 120398 POC Frederick M. Larsen, Contracting Officer, (973) 724-3992 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/SRCSgt/111819985/111819985.htm. E-MAIL: Frederick M. Larsen, flarsen@pica.army.mil. The U.S. Army Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC)currently has a need for an artillery fuze that has an accurate four meter height of burst while meeting other safety and performance criteria. Although no current fuze meets this criteria, it was noted that two current fuzes can be modified to meet mission requirements; the XM782 manufactured by Alliant Techsystems, Hopkins, MN and a fuze based on the M734A1 proximity sensor that is manufactured by KDI Corporation, Cincinnati, OH. It is intended that the Government will issue sole source contracts to each of these firms for test and evaluation. If any other contractor feels their fuze can meet the Army's need please contact the Contracting Officer, Mr. Frederick M. Larsen at (973)724-3992 or email flarsen@pica.army.mil. See numbered Note 22. Posted 11/18/98 (D-SN272673). (0322)
