14 -- SHORT RANGE ANTI-TANK WEAPON SOL M67854-00R-1003 POC Dwight B. Micheal, Sr., Contracting Officer, Code CTQ1DBM, (703) 784-3367 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contracting Officer via, michealdb@mcsc.usmc.mil. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has a requirement for initial production of the Predator Weapon System. The Predator Weapon System is a one man portable, fire and forget, Short Range Anti-tank weapon system designed to defeat the next generation of advanced armor threats. The Predator system characteristics consist of the following: (1) weight of 22 pounds or less, (2) length less than 40 inches, (3) effective range of 17 to 600 meters, (4) inertial guidance capable of addressing moving, as well as, stationary targets and soft launch fire-from-enclosure capability. The Predator will be built to performance specification. The required delivery quantity for this initial production effort is 698 units with a required period of performance of approximately twenty (20) months after contract award. MARCORSYSCOM intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Electronics & Fire Control Division, 5600 Sand Lake Road, Orlando, Florida, 32819-8907. Lockheed Martin is the existing Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) contractor and it has been determined that the production of the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment and/or an extended period of preparation for manufacture by any other source other than the existing EMD contractor. Maintaining production with the current EMD contractor will eliminate substantial duplication of cost due to existing proven production lines and elimination of extensive production readiness review, physical configuration testing and audits, and extensive engineering support.
