- Description
- The purpose of this Market Survey/Sources Sought is to identify potential production sources for the 40mm aluminum body and zinc alloy base. The technical data package (TDP) has been assigned a Distribution Statement X. (Authorized to the U.S. Government agencies and private individuals or enterprises eligible to obtain export-control technical data in accordance with DOD Directive 5230.25. Determinations made 90-07-24. ). Since the technical data has a restricted distribution, contractors are required to be registered in the Joint Certification Program (JCP) and provide the signed DD Form 2345 to the contract specialist at email address sheila.k.peters2.civ@mail.mil. The JCP website can be found at https://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/default.aspx. In addition, a completed Non-Disclosure Agreement (below) must be completed by an authorized representative of the company and sent to the point of contact above. The 40mm aluminum body and zinc alloy base are components used in manufacturing the M713, M715, and M716 colored smoke cartridges. The 40mm aluminum body is a hollow projectile which is a little over 1.5 inches in diameter and less than 3 inches long. This body is machined from aluminum alloy rod. The base which fits into the base of the aluminum body is a zinc alloy die cast component that is less than.4 inches long and is less than 1.5 inches in diameter. There will not be any government furnished material supplied for these components. The government's interest would be between 70k-150k each of 40mm aluminum bodies and zinc alloy bases over a five year period. An acceptable First Article Test is required prior to production. Interested companies should respond by providing the government the following information: minimum production requirements and any production limitations. They should also note any significant lead times with equipment or materials associated with production of these bodies or bases. A rough order of magnitude unit cost is required and this is to include any quantity discounts that may be available. A respondent needs to supply a brief summary of the company's capabilities (A description of the facilities, personnel experience, and past manufacturing experience as it relates to the above criteria) and availability. If a respondent does not have adequate resources (technical, manufacturing, personnel or facilities) available, then they must be able to demonstrate their ability to obtain those resources in a timely fashion. If a respondent to this survey intends to utilize subcontractors then this point should be made clear on their response. A respondent should identify their quality system and provide a copy of their quality manual's table of contents and a list of all of the revisions made to the manual. All contractors interested in this notice must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration Database. The NAICS code is 332993. This is a sources sought announcement and is intended for information and planning purposes only. This is NOT A SOLICITATION. This sources sought announcement shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the government. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of these sources sought or otherwise pay for information solicited. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary. All submissions are requested to be made electronically by July 1, 2011. All information submitted will be held in a confidential status.
