13 -- SELECTABLE LIGHTWEIGHT ATTACK MUNITIONS (SLAM) PRODUCTION SOL DAAE30-99-R-0113 DUE 051399 POC Mrs. Karen Thompson, Contract Specialist, 973-724-3638 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/SRCSgt/051319990/051319990.htm. E-MAIL: Karen Thompson, kthomps@pica.army.mil. The U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is seeking sources for the production of the M2 and M4 SLAM munitions. This requirement is for an estimated quantity for FY00 of 2,200 each M2's with option quantities for FY01 of 2,400 each M2's, FY02 of 4,000 each M2's, FY03 of 4,000 each M4's and FY04 of 9,000 each M4's. An anticipated award date for this requirement is 3QFY00 with the first delivery of munitions eight (8) months after the contract award. The M2/M4 SLAM is a small, compact, man-portable, hand-emplaced munition with anti-disturbance and anti-tamper features. The M2/M4 SLAM consists of the laster welded Base and Cover assemblies. These assemblies contain a battery activator (the V205 battery will be provided as GFM), electronics that incor- porates ASIC with embedded vehicle algorithm and crystal based timing circuitry, Safe and Arm, a warhead containing high precision copper liner and approximately .6 lb of LX-14 explosives, PIR and magnetic sensors. The M2/M4 SLAM can function in any of four (4) modes: bottom attack, side attack, time demolition and command detonation. In the bottom attack mode the M2/M4 SLAM initiates the warhead function after it magnetically detects the overpass of an armored infantry vehicle. In the side attack mode the SLAM initiates the warhead via the integral passive infrared sensor. The M2 munition self-neutralizes and the M4 self-destructs after selected time in the bottom attack or side attack modes has elapsed. Interested sources are requested to submit information in accordance with Numbered Note 25. Specifically, sources should submit informa- tion to at least demonstrate the following: a) capability and experience in production and testing of magnetic and PIR sensors and their control circuitry, surface mount technology, laser welding, precision machining, HE loading; b) personnel, facility and equipment capability to conduct low residue flux soldering, laser welding, precision machining and loading, assembly, testing and storage of munitions containing high explosives; c) expertise in trouble shooting, failure analysis and corrective action of ASIC driven electronic circuits, PIR and magnetic sensors and explosive components; d) capability to execute effective quality control program; e) Security clearance at the secret level is required. This program involves access to information defined as Militarily Critical Technology, subject to the restrictions of the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22 USC, Section 2751 et seq) or Executive Order 12470. Participation in this program may therefore be restricted to inductry of the United States. Related experience and resumes of key personnel should be provided. This is not a request for proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Army. Posted 05/13/99 (D-SN331081). (0133)
