- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The US Army Contracting Command-Picatinny on behalf of the Project Manager for Maneuver Ammunition System (PM-MAS) is seeking sources for the 9mm Marking Rounds (for use in the M9 and M11 weapons). The marking rounds (blue/red/yellow) stated above will be used with the Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK). The CCMCK is a user installed temporary weapon conversion system that allows the Soldier to employ an individual weapon (M9 and M11) at short range using low velocity marking ammunition while precluding the weapon from firing standard service ammunition. The marking ammunition shall be a reduced-energy, non-lethal cartridge that leaves a bright, water-soluble color marking compound on target upon impact. The visible impact left by the marking compound allows for an accurate assessment of simulated lethality and shot placement. SPECIFICATION: The ammunition must be compatible with the current US Army qualified CCMCK weapon conversion system for the M9 and M11. The National Stock Number (NSN) for the M9 weapon CCMCK conversion kit is 1005-20-003-2362 and the NSN for the M11 weapon CCMCK conversion kit is 1005-20-003-2361. No additional weapon conversions or modifications outside of the current CCMCK system will be allowed. Interested sources without a previously verified design will be responsible for verifying their cartridge design in accordance with the Government purchase description at their own expense. A purchase description will be released upon request. Sources interested in supplying the marking ammunition should adequately describe their experience in small caliber production and testing, demonstrated high rate production, annual production capacity, and verification status of their proposed design. Those sources not having a previously verified design should also submit a rough outline of their plans and schedule to verify their design and shall submit any backup data to support claims that their design will conform to the purchase description requirements. Sources shall provide verification status of the marking ammunition cartridges that will be supplied under this contract. PLANNED ACQUISITION: At this time, the Government is only seeking to identify capable sources. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: For Further Information - All interested parties should submit a description of their capabilities along with sketches, drawings, specifications, brochures, current estimated unit cost per million, monthly production capability, and/or test results within 30 days of this notice to: US Army Contracting Command-Picatinny, ACC-PICA-MA, William Labance, Bldg 45B, Mailstop 10B, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 or by email to: william.labance@us.army.mil, phone (973) 724-6673. This is a market survey, not a pre-solicitation notice. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government.
