Description
On 31 March 2000 the Natick Contracting Division, U.S. Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center, Natick, MA 01760-5011 awarded a requirements type contract to Simunition Limited , Avon, CT 06001-0576 (Contract #DAAD16-00-D-0015) for red and blue FX Marking Rounds. The contract period of performance is from 1 Apr 00 through 31 Mar 01 with two possible option periods of 1 Apr 01 through 31 Mar 02 and 1 Apr 02 through 30 Sep 02. This acquisition was first advertised in CBDNet on 25 Feb 00 (printed issue 1 Mar 00) and then modified on 7 Mar 00 (printed issue 10 Mar 00). The modified announcement reads as follows: "the government's best estimate for quantities required over [the performance periods] is as follows: for both Apr 00 through Mar 01 and Apr 01 through Mar 02 -- 175 cases of blue and 60 cases of red; for Apr through Sep 02 -100 cases of blue and 30 cases of red." Note that there are 1,000 rounds of ammunition per case. This acquisition was advertised, and eventually awarded, on a basis of other than full and open competition. The purpose of this announcement is to revise the estimated quantities that will be ordered against this contract. Since the award date to Simunition Ltd. on 31 Mar 00, other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies have expressed interest in placing delivery orders off of this contract. These agencies currently order the exact marking rounds that are on contract DAAD16-00-D-0015 via other contracting methods. This advertisement is initiated to increase the total quantities required which will in turn allow other DoD agencies to use this contract vehicle. The following is the government's best estimate for orders to be placed against this contract, however, if other agencies now unknown show interest in ordering off this contract these numbers may increase up to 20 percent each ordering period: The government's best estimate for quantities of FX Marking Rounds required on contract #DAAD16-00-D-0015 with Simunition Limited are, 536 cases of blue and 421 cases of red for base period 1 Apr 00 through 31 Mar 01; 688 cases of blue and 573 cases of red for option period one from 1 Apr 01 through 31 Mar 02; and 447 cases of blue and 377 cases of red for option period two from 1 Apr through 30 Sep 02. Note that the original basis for other than full and open competition is still valid. See Note 22 -- modified to ten (10) days as this is for a commercial product.
