- Solicitation Amendment 0001 Part 1: Manufacture of 20mm Automatic Gun Feeder applicable to the M61A1 20mm Gun for the F-15/F-16 Aircraft. DESCRIPTION: The Air Force anticipates issuing a firm-fixed-price contract with a Basic Year and three (3) One-Year Options for the Automatic Gun Feeder applicable to the F-15/F-16 aircraft. This is a full and open competitive acquisition with an Insurance Policy in accordance with AFMCFARS 5317.7590. In the event an unqualified source is awarded the contract, a Mission Essential Quantity (MEQ) may be issued to a proven source to maintain current demand levels through the new production lead time. The MEQ, if required, will be issued only to General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products Inc., 128 Lakeside Ave, Burlington VT 05401-4939 (cage code 05606). NSN: 1005-00-188-6968 Noun: Automatic Gun Feeder Assembly P/N: 139C6551 Quantity: 5 EA First Articles= 3 EA Out- years Options I-III= 1-32 EA MEQ= 26 EA MEQ Option I = 1-32 EA Function: The handoff unit assembly mounts on the drum unit assembly. It receives power from the drum drive assembly through a splined drive shaft. It is located between the rigid chute assembly and the flexible element and ammunition chute assembly. It contains alignment points for the interface unit assembly and two attaching points for the interface unit locking lever. An electrical cable assembly with an electrical connector and two sensors is incorporated for last round detection. A nose sensor arm and case sensor provide a switch opening signal to the PACS only if a spent case passes. The PACS then delays shutdown until the spent cases almost reach the gun. A closed switch signal is provided when empty conveyor elements or a complete round passes. This allows for human error during loading. The handoff unit assembly consists of sprockets and guides and accomplishes the following: Removes rounds from the exit unit and handoff unit conveyor belt assembly and transfers them to the interface unit. Receives spent cases and/or unfired rounds from the interface unit and transfers them onto the handoff unit and entrance unit conveyor belt assembly for conveying to drum storage. A handoff unit wear plate is mounted to the housing and provides round (case end) guiding throughout the handoff operation. Length: 12.0000 (IN) Width: 7.0000 (IN) Height: 6.0000 (IN) Weight: 8.0000 (LB) Delivery: First Articles are due within 270 calendar days ARO award.
