- Description
- The United States Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) on behalf of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), both located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, is conducting market research to identify potential qualified sources that are capable of manufacturing and completing final delivery of the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) M231/M232A2 Load, Assemble, and Pack (LAP) for the 155mm Propelling Charges. The purpose of this market survey (W15QKN-25-X-117Y) is to obtain current information on the capability of potential sources to deliver MACS to support FY26 � FY31 requirements. The MACS LAP consists of two (2) types of propelling charges, the M231 and the M232A2, and all associated packaging. It uses a ""build-a-charge,"" incremental-based system; the M231 is used singularly or in pairs for Low Zones (1 & 2) and the M232A2 is used in groups of 3, 4 or 5 charges for High Zones (3, 4 & 5). The system is compatible with all current 155mm field artillery weapons. To be considered as a capable source for this effort, all interested parties must submit the requested information: Provide evidence of capabilities including an ability to produce a combined total of the M231 and M232A2 MACS at a production rate of up to 80,000 units per month and any capability to surge to 445,000 units per month; Past manufacturing experience with MACS or similar products within the last ten (10) years; Description of facilities, personnel (numbers, experience, specialized skill sets), key raw material sources, and environmental compliance as it relates to the above production efforts; Experience with respect to propellant handling/storage and other hazardous handling/storage; Provide evidence of in-house Quality Assurance System(s) to support the LAP program; Provide company name, address, telephone number, email address, technical point of contact, and company size (please specify as either a Large Business, Foreign-Owned Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, 8(a) concern, Woman-Owned Small Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone concern, Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Service-Disabled Small Business). All companies interested in this notice must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM). This market survey is for informational and planning purposes and shall NOT be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Technical Data Packages (TDPs) will be provided upon request for information only. Both the M231 and M232A2 TDPs are marked Distribution F (Further Dissemination only as directed by PM CAS). To receive the TDP, contractors are required to submit a signed and completed DD Form 2345 - Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement; AMSTA-AR Form 1350 - Technical Data Request Questionnaire; and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). If the TDP for this effort is provided, a Certificate of Destruction form shall be completed and submitted by any contractor in receipt of the TDP, upon this source sought notice closing. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. Please identify and appropriately mark any proprietary information submitted. All information provided will not be returned and will be held in confidential status. All market information sought in this notification must be provided within 15 days of this notice by electronic mail only at no cost to the Government.
