- Description
- This is a pre-solicitation notice of a proposed requirement regarding the Compact Semi Automatic Sniper System (CSASS). The Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons (PM SW), intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Delivery Orders. This requirement will be solicited as Full and Open Competition. The minimum ordering obligation is thirty (30) CSASSs to be used for Production Qualification Testing/Operational Testing (PQT/OT). The period of performance for the base contract will be twelve (12) months for PQT/OT. Option one (I) will permit the Government to order production of systems, which will be the quantity of CSASSs needed to match the current M110 Army Acquisition Objective of no more than three thousand, six hundred forty three (3,643). Option one (I) will also include spare parts, depot support, first article testing, and Instructor and Key Personnel Training (I&KPT). Congruently, option one (I) will create five (5) - one (1) year ordering periods with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery orders. Option two (II) is for the purchase of a technical data package (TDP) and Government Purpose Rights (GPR). The Government does not anticipate placing delivery orders beyond the PQT/OT quantities (30 ea) until the successful completion of Milestone C/Type Classification-Standard. The CSASS will more effectively execute a broad spectrum of missions than the M110 Semi Automatic Sniper System (SASS). The CSASS will provide the following upgrades: improved reliability, improved accuracy, and improved ergonomics; reduced weight and length; advanced coatings; improved optics; reduced felt recoil; enhanced suppressor performance; enhanced modular rail capabilities; an improved bipod, trigger, pistol grip, and buttstock. Offerors looking to compete in this requirement have the option to submit no more than two (2) proposal(s) to acquire a new system or to retrofit the existing M110 SASS. The contractor shall manufacture, produce, and support the CSASS. The contractor shall provide for all necessary labor, material, supplies, services, facilities, and equipment to perform the requirements of the Statement of Objectives (SOO) in Section C of the formal Request for Proposal (RFP). Any offeror awarded a contract resulting from the formal solicitation shall be required to conduct First Article Test(s) (FAT). Deliveries of the CSASS can ramp up to 325 month. The Purchase Description (PD) for CSASS is categorized as Distribution D and is restricted. This PD contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq.) or Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C., App 2401, et seq.), as amended. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. This also applies to distribution of the PD to all Subcontractors at every level. When a formal solicitation is released, only contractors who have submitted a valid DD 2345, a completed and signed AMSTA-AR Form 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire, and a U.S. Government Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), to be executed by an authorized representative of the respondent's firm, will be granted access to the PD. The PD will not be provided as part of this PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE. This PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a draft or formal Request for Proposal (RFP). This PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government intends to publish a formal request for proposals. The points of contact for this action are: Marlene Sanchez, Contract Specialist, Email: marlene.a.sanchez2.civ@mail.mil and Frank Corradi, Contract Specialist, Email: frank.j.corradi.civ@mail.mil; NO TELEPHONE INQUIRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
