Description

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT synopsis. This sources sought synopsis requests information needed by the Government prior to release of any potential solicitation. Details follow-please read this entire synopsis. This is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division, Indian Head, Maryland is seeking sources capable of providing Small Caliber Dearmer (SCD) Tool Sets. The purpose of the SCD is to render safe by cutting, gagging, severing, or jamming small concealed, or otherwise screened, threat targets emplaced in various challenging orientations that cannot be practically dearmed by existing EOD explosively driven render safe procedure (RSP) tools. The SCD provides U.S. military EOD personnel with an improved render safe capability to be used against small munitions, as current EOD RSP tools are too large and cumbersome. The SCD is an inert tool until it is readied for use by loading standard military 9mm or .22 caliber ammunition, and preparing the firing circuit with a non-electric shock tube. Each SCD tool set contains three 9 mm and three .22 caliber barrel/breech assemblies. The barrels for each caliber are of three different lengths, 2.5", 6" and 12". The stand and adapter block are used to position the stand at the proper orientation to the target. Each barrel/ breech assembly includes a barrel, breech, firing pin, spring, retaining insert and a setscrew. The brass union and ferrule nut are used to secure shock tube to the breech. The tool set also includes a shock tube cutter, basic maintenance tools, cleaning supplies and a box of spare parts. The tool set is packed in a rugged watertight case. Ammunition and shock tube are not stored in the case, and are not considered to be part of the SCD tool set. The government is anticipating procuring between 900 -- 1200 SCD's over a three-year period using a firm fixed priced requirements type vehicle. This announcement serves to facilitate development of the RFP, and is NOT a formal solicitation and is NOT a request for proposals. Availability of the formal solicitation will be announced separately. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes ONLY, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 332994. INTERESTED ENTITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND BY PROVIDING THEIR COMPANY NAME, POINTS OF CONTACT, THEIR BUSINESS SIZE, AND WHETHER YOU CURRENTLY POSSES A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSE TO PRODUCE FIREARMS. Submit written responses to Renee Brown -- email at BrownRM@ih.navy.mil or mail to NAVSEA Indian Head, Surface Warfare Center, Contracts Division, Bldg. 1558, Attn: Renee Brown, Code 1143E, 101 Strauss Avenue, Indian Head, MD 20640-5035.
