- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command, on behalf of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, intends to award a firm-fixed price sole source contract to Independent Studio Services, 9545 Wentworth Street, Sunland, CA 91040-1626. This requirement is for 50,000 rounds of 7.62 millimeter x 39-millimeter blank rounds for use in pre-deployment training. This action is in support of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory Project Metropolis. Independent Studio Services (ISS) is the only responsible source for these ammunition blanks. The Blank Firing Adapters (BFAs) used on the AK-47 rifles that are in the current stock for SASO training, were originally purchased from Independent Studio Services. The 7.62mm x 39mm blank ammunition that is available through ISS is calibrated to work specifically with these BFAs. Because standard 7.62mm x 39mm blank ammunitions are not designed with as heavy a grain load as the ISS blanks, the action of the rifle will not be able to completely cycle when fired, which would prevent the weapon from going into fully automatic fire. No Request for Proposal is available for competitive bidding; however, interested parties may submit a written statement of capability for satisfying this requirement to the address identified above not later than 14 April 2004. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
