58 -- CHAMBER BORE SIGHT DUE 022900 POC Ms. Mary T. Sturgis, Code 1165ZK, 812-854-3730, FAX 812-854-5066, e-mail sturgis_m@crane.navy.mil The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCC) is seeking prospective sources to provide Chamber Bore Sight devices in support of the Special Operations Peculiar Modifications (SOPMOD) Accessory Kit Program. The Chamber Bore Sight device must provide a quick and easy way to bore sight various caliber weapons. A laser or other projecting device that can provide a beam of visible light emitted from the chamber of the weapon and/or through the barrel thus allowing the operator a quick, reliable means of rough zeroing weapon to sight accuracy is sought. The device is required to fit in a 5.56mm NATO chamber and adapt to the following caliber of ammunitions: 7.62 NATO, 7.62 Russian, .50 caliber, 12 gauge, 5.56, 40mm, and 300 WinMag. The device will serve as a rough zeroing device to assure that the weapon to sight boresight accuracy has been maintained after rough handling. In-chamber devices are preferred based on preliminary user assessment. It should have a self-contained power supply with no tethers leading away from the device. It should have a working range of 25-100 meters. It should have distinguishing markings so as to tell it from other shell casings when ejected. Laser warning labels may be sufficient for this purpose. NSWCC is requesting that a quantity of 6 to 10 product samples, at no cost to the Government, be provided for use in Operational Testing/Development Testing. Product samples may undergo destructive testing. Literature describing the emissions from the device, particularly Laser Hazard Class, if applicable, should accompany the product samples. Class 2 and Class 3A Visible laser devices will be preferred. Class 3B and Class 4 laser devices as defined in ANSI Z136.1, Safe Use of Lasers, will not be considered at this time unless they have previously been tested by one of the Technical Test Authorities and approved for fielding by one of the Laser Safety Review Authorities. All lasers will be evaluated for classification prior to being used during Operational Testing/DevelopmentTesting. Product samples will be assessed for mission suitability, complexity of operation, ease of use, ruggedness, reliability, and other factors. Sources are encouraged to provide literature and/or white papers addressing their products for evaluation. Sources are also encouraged to provide a narrative description of their firm, experience in providing this type of product, and information addressing the standard commercial business practices for this type of item. Each response should include technical and contractual points of contact, the size of the business and whether it is a dealer or manufacturer of the item. This request in no way implies either implicitly or explicitly that respondents will be compensated in any way by the Government for information or materials provided. The Navy's intent is to issue a competitive solicitation, resulting in the award of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract(s) to one or more sources. Product samples are to be delivered to NSWCC no later than 29 Feb 00 and will be used in the Operational Testing/Development Testing if received by this date. Product Samples are to be delivered to: NAVSURFWARCENDIV, 300 Hwy 361, Attn: Mr. R. Osmon, Bldg. 3291, Code 805F, Crane, IN 47522-5001.
