- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS) intends to issue a Sole Source, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) modification for the manufacture, test, packaging, and delivery of M31-Type Triple-Base Propellant for the 155mm Modular Artillery Charge Systems (MACS) M232-series propelling charges. The MACS consists of two solid propellant charges, the M231 (low-zone) and the M232-series (high-zone), and their associated packaging.� The charge system provides a complete zoning solution for the 155mm artillery applications by using multiples of the basic modules.� The bottom-charge M231 is fired either singly (Charge-1) or in pairs (Charge-2) from all cannon systems.� The top-charge M232-series is fired in multiples of 3, 4 or 5 in currently fielded weapon systems.� The M31 type is the 7-perforated cylindrical granular triple-base propellant for the M232-series propelling charge. The M31-Type Propellant is used for the M232-series MACS propelling charge which is a critical component required for fielding of the highly improved high zone M232-series propelling charge. This modification shall be issued under current contract W15QKN-19-D-0072 with the Canadian Commercial Corporation and GD Canada/Valleyfield, 350 Albert St, Suite 700, Ottawa, CA.� This modification will increase the contract ceiling by $972,478,403.24, FROM: $252,943,230.00 TO: $1,225,421,633.24.� This modification will be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C.3204(c)(1); as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)-Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. �This modification is a result of the surge in requirements to support the Presidential Buyback effort.� This modification will also increase the maximum quantity per month to 383,000 and add an additional quantity range of 7,000,001-12,000,000.� Appropriate and available funds are available for this acquisition. This announcement is for notification purposes only and shall NOT be construed as a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) nor is the Government obligated to issue an RFP. Any information or exchanges between Contractors and the USG are at no additional cost and/or obligation to the USG. The anticipated award for this action is Fiscal Year 2023, Quarter 3 (FY23Q3).� Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The point of contact for this requirement is Mr. Chris Bartow, ACC-NJ via e-mail: christopher.j.bartow.civ@army.mil.
