- Description
- The U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC is contemplating award of a sole source purchase order to Indiana Ordnance Works, 11452 Highway 62, Charlestown, IN 47111 to procure full-scale inert M231 and M232 Training Aids that contain sectioned M231 and M232 charges in their corresponding sectioned metal ammo storage containers. The 155mm M231/M232 propelling charges known as MACS (Modular Artillery Charge System) are two different propelling charges designed and developed at Picatinny Arsenal, that provide a complete zoning solution for 155MM Artillery applications by using multiples of a basic increment. During development and fielding of the MACS charge, the U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC has previously contracted for the creation of full-scale displays and reduced-scale training aids of the MACS to illustrate charge construction, packaging and field application. The M231 charges are used at lower zones (Zones 1 & 2), while the M232 Charges are used at higher zones (Zones 3 through 6). The training aids include producing thirty (30) M231 and thirty (30) M232 Packaged Cutaways that are displayed in their metal ammunition storage container. Since soldiers will be training with these cutaways, it is important that they are of the same quality and construction as the ?live? version while using inert materials. The MACS and their components are on the Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL), Aug 1996. Therefore, the MACS TDP is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act Title 22, U.S.C. Sec 2751) and is subject to DoD Directives 5230.24 and 5230.25. See numbered notes 8.
