- Description
- Request For Information (RFI) The Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the U.S. Army RDECOM-ARDEC, Picatinny Arsenal is conducting a market survey for the support of Advanced Breaching Demo & Technology (ABDT) Science & Technology Project. The Munitions Systems & Technology is responsible for performing life cycle engineering for all munition systems to include tank artillery, mortar, small and medium caliber rockets, shoulder fired and recoilless, demolition munitions as well as vehicle protection systems. The US Army Contracting Command has a requirement to provide support in developing the next generation of breaching tools for suspected minefield in support of foot patrol operations. • We are conducting a wide area search for technology solutions being developed or have been developed on the following: o The objective is to create a safe path in a suspected mine field, on a variety of soil types. Traditionally a line charge has been used to provide the end effect of creating the path that is used by Soldiers to traverse the field. The line charge is used as the vessel to transport the mechanisms that provide the impulse-pressure over time that creates the path. These mechanisms maybe of high order or low order and may be sequenced. • The US Army Contracting Command is open to different technologies/methods not in a "line charge" form factor to accomplish the end goal of creating a path. Technologies such as directed energy, electro static discharge, explosive pulse power, explosive/kinetic and others with their varying degree of maturity are also welcome. Responsible and interested sources shall submit their qualifications and experiences within thirty (30) calendar days of this notice to include, but not limited, the following information: (1) Organization Name (2) Ownership structure (3) Management personnel (4) Description of technical approach to address this RFI (5) Summary of past experiences covering the last five (5) years. • The experiences summary should highlight specific explosive or electronic technologies researched or supported in the past five (5) years which may be applied towards this breaching requirement. This market survey is for planning purposes only and should not be construed as a request for proposal or an obligation on the part of the government. This synopsis is open to all business concerns; however, in accordance with FAR 19.501, the Government's intent is to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA's) with small businesses.
