- Description
- FY16-20 60mm/81mm Full Range Practice Cartridge Production (Market Survey): The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI), Rock Island, IL 61299-0001 on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (OPM-CAS), is conducting a market survey to identify qualified sources capable of providing the 60mm M769 Full Range Practice Cartridge (FRPC) and the 81mm M879A1 Full Range Practice Cartridge. The purpose of this survey is to obtain current information on the capability of firms to provide these products to the warfighter in the FY16-FY20 timeframe. The 60mm and 81mm Full Range Practice Cartridges consists of a hollow shell body with no Comp B energetic fill, and except for the color, look identical to the 60mm and 81mm High Explosive Cartridges. The FRPC cartridges utilize a center vent tube to allow the fuze signature to be vented through a series of holes in the aft shell body. The cartridge bodies accept the M775 Practice Fuze for the 60mm FRPC and the M751 Practice Fuze for the 81mm FRPC. Each configuration contains a spotting charge that ignites upon ground impact. Upon impact, the practice fuze produces a flash, bang and/or smoke signature that provides audio and visual feedback to forward observers. A snap-on plastic ogive simulates the contour and the four function settings of the M734A1 multi-option fuze used on the service mortars. The FRPCs currently use four (4) increments as the propelling charge system that is initiated by the ignition cartridge. The cartridges are packed one to a fiber container and are included in a wooden wirebound box. Technical Data Packages will not be provided as part of this announcement. To be considered as a capable source for this effort, all interested parties must submit the requested information as follows: a)Provide evidence of capabilities including an ability to produce the M879A1 and M769 Full Range Practice Cartridges at a rate of 12,000 units per month. b)Manufacturing experience producing full range practice cartridges within the past 3 years; c)Description of facilities, personnel and environmental compliance as it relates to the above technical services; d)Provide evidence of Quality Assurance and Reliability programs to support these technical services; and e)Provide their name, address, point of contact, telephone, email, and size of business.
