- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command � Rock Island at Picatinny, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems (PM-MAS) intends to issue a competitive request for proposal (RFP) for the production of the M1041, 9mm marking ammunition. The 9mm, M1041, is fired from the M9 and M11 pistols, M4 Carbine and eventual use in the M17 and M18 Modular Handgun Systems. Marking rounds (blue/red) will be used with the Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK). The CCMCK is a user installed temporary weapon conversion system that allows for the solider to employ an individual weapon (M9, M11 and M4) at a minimum engagement distance of five feet using low velocity marking ammunition while precluding the weapon from firing standard service ammunition. The marking ammunition shall be a reduced-energy, non-lethal cartridge, that leaves a bright, water-soluble color marking compound on target upon impact, without penetrating the soldier Army Combat Uniform (ACI) or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The visible impact left by the marking compound allows for an accurate assessment of simulated lethality and shot placement. The manufacture, inspection, testing, and delivery the M1041, 9mm marking ammunition shall be in accordance with the U.S. Government owned Detailed Performance Specification marked Distribution D. At this time, the Detailed Performance Specification will not be provided. The contractor shall be responsible for providing all necessary materials, equipment (minus Government Furnished Property, if utilized), hard tooling, personnel, and facilities necessary to manufacture, produce and deliver the types of quantities of deliverables specified by the contract. The Government anticipates making one award. Deliveries will be required within 24 months after contract award. This is a pre-solicitation notice, and the Government anticipates that a formal solicitation will be issued on or about 17 September 2026. All information is to be furnished at no obligation to the Government. The Point of Contact for this action is Mr. Steven Ghazi, Contracting Officer, steven.s.ghazi.civ@army.mil and Michael T. Lau, Contracting Specialist, michael.t.lau3.civ@army.mil at ACC-RI @ Picatinny, Maneuver Combat, Building 10, Phipps Rd. Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000.
