- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command � New Jersey, on behalf of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command � Armaments Center (CCDC AC), Weapons and Software Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is conducting market research to determine the capability of business to provide a wide range force measuring sensors that could be used for Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) force measuring platform. DISCLAIMER �THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A �REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)� TO BE SUBMITTED. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.

IF A SOLICITATION IS RELEASED, IT WILL BE SYNOPSIZED ON THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE POINT OF ENTRY (GPE). IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF POTENTIAL OFFERORS TO MONITOR THE GPE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS REQUIREMENT.� BACKGROUND: Development of a force measuring platform, or Dynamometer, for the CROWS system is necessary to facilitate vehicle integration efforts. At this point in time, the only information on forces transmitted to the structure is from an available document, which only provides the peak loads in the bolts. This results in additional engineering time designing unnecessarily complex structures to handle these maximum static loads. To improve this process it is necessary to measure the dynamic loading created when different weapons are fired from the CROWS platform. To support the Development of a force measuring platform, for the CROWS vehicle integration effort, CCDC AC is conduction market research to purchase Kistler 9377C Force Sensor and parts to be used for CROWS force measuring platform. The Kistler force sensor or equal parts will meet the requirements of CROWS frequency response while firing. It will meet both initial impulse and entire recoil event. The Product Service Code is 1250 Fire Control Stabilizing Mechanisms. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 334515 with a Small Business Size Standard of 750 employees. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify their business size in their capabilities statement.
