The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or otherwise pay for information solicited.

The M79 Electric Match Igniter (NSN: 1375-01-353-1038, DODIC: MN60) consists of a 3 inch long polypropylene tube and cap assembly containing pressed igniter and starter composition. There is an electric match within the cap. The M79 Electric Match Igniter is initiated by a 12-volt 1.2 amp source. The electric source initiates the electric match which initiates the starter composition, and likewise initiates the igniter composition. The igniter composition then ignites the pyrotechnic device. The M79 Electric Match Igniter is used to remotely initiate the M27 AntiTank Guided Missile Signature Simulator (ATGMSS). This survey is open to both large and small businesses.

A respondent to this market survey must have available a majority of the skills and facilities that are required to manufacture these items. If a respondent does not have adequate resources (technical, manufacturing, personnel, etc.) available, the respondent must be able to demonstrate his ability to obtain those resources in a timely fashion.
