Hurd, Purchasing Agent, (973)724-6965 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/SRCSgt/073019980/073019980.htm. E-MAIL: Lisa A. Hurd, lhurd@pica.army.mil. This is a Market Survey for a proposed contractual effort for the purchase of various R&D Projectiles and Projectile Subcomponents for Tank Ammunition. The proposed effort requires potential contractors to have knowledge and experience with production of 120mm/140mm Kinetic Energy (KE) cartridge assemblies, their related components/subcomponents and their related subassemblies. The potential contractors must also have the capability to manufacture, assemble and pack 120mm/140mm KE Projectile Assemblies. Industry standards and specifications will be used for this effort with the exception of MIL-A2550 and DoD-STD-00100D(AR), which will be for reference purposes only. Primex Technologies has been the prime contractor on this effort thus far. Estimated quantities for four (4) to five (5) potential efforts/tasks are 20 each Non- Initiating Precursor (NIP) Projectile Assemblies; 10 each SORIT (Slip Out Rod in Tube) Projectile Assemblies; 10 each Improved Design (e.g., different filler and material, new tube design) SORIT Projectile Assemblies; and 200 each 140mm stub bases and 140 combustible case components/sets (adapters, cases spring clips, etc.). Security clearance at the secret level is required. This program involves access to information defined as Militarily Critical Technology, subject to restrictions of the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22 USC, Section 2751 et seq.) or Executive Order 12470. Participation in this program may therefore be restricted to industry in the United States. Related experience and resume of key personnel should be provided. Responses must be submitted in accordance with the guidance contained in Numbered Note 25. This is not a request for proposal, and this is not to be construed as a committment by the U.S. Army. See Numbered Note 25*****. Posted 07/30/98 (D-SN230426). (0211)
