13 -- NON LETHAL GRENADES DUE 031799 POC jbaldwin@natick-notes02.army.mil SOLE SOURCE: The U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) has a requirement to experiment with Non Lethal Grenades for inclusion in the joint Army/Marine Corp -- Military Operations in Urban Terrain -- Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (MOUT ACTD). The items that potentially met the Non Lethal Grenade MOUT ACTD Requirement No.34 (R34) as described at the MOUT ACTD Web Site: "http//:yorktown.dc.isx.com/mout/index.html" were evaluated in small quantities during USMC Exp # 2 at Camp Lejeune NC during August 1998. Based on that experiment, it was determined that additional quantities of the NICO 1 flash-bang product, training grenade bodies and the training grenade reloads would be purchased from R/M Equipment, Inc. (Miami, FL) for the Joint Experiments (JE1 and JE2) and the Culminating Demonstration (CD). This Command is planning to purchase 240 units of the NICO flash-bang for JE1 to be delivered no later than 15 May 1999 to Camp Lejeune, NC; 240 units for JE2 to be delivered no later than 15 Jul 1999 to Ft. Benning, GA; and an option to purchase 480 units for CD to be delivered no later than February 2000 to Ft. Polk, LA. In addition, 96 units of the training grenade bodies and 960 units of the reloads will be procured and delivered to Fort Benning, GA.
