- Description
- The U.S. Army TACOM- Picatinny Arsenal, NJ has a requirement for sixteen (16) Enhanced Cover Assemblies. This firm fixed price purchase order is for the development of an enhanced cover for the current square rim ammunition container to redesign for weight savings as well as improve Insensitive Munitions (IM) performance. The Army is looking to decrease/lighten the amount of packaging material used for ammunition. When ammunition is packed for transport, usually you will max out in weight before cubing out, fill up useable volume. To increase the amount of ammunition transported the weight from either the ammo or packaging must be reduced. Since design changes in ammunition is more complex than packaging, it is logical to try and reduce as much weight as possible from the packaging while keeping its functionality and still protect the item/s inside. The enhanced cover will reduce the weight as well as allow room to incorporate Insensitive Munitions (IM) feature. The competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) will be available electronically at the following Internet address: http://procnet.pica.army.mil on or about fifteen (15) days from date of this announcement.
