B -- MICRO-ELECTRO MECHANICAL SENSOR SYSTEM (MEMS) SOL DAAE30-99-R-0417 DUE 070399 POC George M. Chavis, Contract Specialist, (973) 724-4496 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/SRCSgt/061819992/061819992.htm. E-MAIL: George M. Chavis, gchavis@pica.army.mil. The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, has a requirement for an engineering study to incorporate the Micro-Electro Mechanical Sensor System (MEMS) into the production of munitions such as fuses. The subsequent report will provide an overview of the impact of incorporating MEMS devices and micro sensor technology into the assembly of electro-mechanical items such as fuzes. This evaluation is aimed at production readiness support for conventional ammunition to minimize costs. Consideration will be given to potential applications to conventional munitions, and other Army systems and logistic systems. The report shall identify and document special issues in the handling of these devices and specific tooling and equipment required to allow a facility to implement MEMS devices in an assembly line. Please be advised that this is not a request for the submission of offers or proposals, this is a request for information only; no contract award will be made as a result of this notice. Interested parties are highly encouraged to provide item descriptions, catalogues and brochures. Responses shall include information relative to price, a description of the firm's technical capabilities, personnel qualifications, and provide a point of contact for questions.
