- Description
- The purpose of this Market Survey/Sources Sought is to identify potential production sources for a Delay Assembly - drawing number 3-4-11. The delay assembly is used in the M713, M715 and M716 colored smoke 40mm cartridges. This delay assembly starts out with delay housing drawing number 3-4-32 which is a cylindrical "tube" shaped part that has a 30 degree flare at one end. The diameter of the tube is roughly.242" not including the flare and is roughly 1.5" in length before the flare is made. The housing is made from 5052-0 aluminum per ASTM-B209. The delay housing is then loaded with the output composition, drawing number 3-4-24 then the delay composition is loaded as shown on drawing number 3-4-23. Finally first fire composition, drawing number 3-4-22 is loaded. The government's interest would be between 70k-150k delay assemblies in a five year period. An acceptable First Article Test is required prior to production. Interested companies should respond by providing the government the following information: minimum production requirements and any production limitations. Any significant lead times with equipment or materials associated with production of these delay assemblies should be included. Also provide estimated lead times from contract award to first article test and from first article test approval to the completion of the first production lot. Rough order of magnitude unit cost is required and this is to include any quantity discounts that may be available. A respondent needs to supply a brief summary of the company's capabilities (a description of the facilities, personnel experience, and past manufacturing experience as it relates to the above criteria) and availability. If a respondent does not have adequate resources (technical, manufacturing, personnel or facilities) available, then they must be able to demonstrate their ability to obtain those resources in a timely manner. If a respondent intends to utilize a subcontractor then this point should be made clear in the response and state the country of origin that the delay assembly and/or components are planned to be produced in. A respondent should identify their quality system and provide a copy of their quality manual's table of contents and a list of all of the revisions made to the manual. All contractors interested in this notice must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration Database. The NAICS code is 332993.
