The Government intends to award a five (5) year Firm Fixed Price contract with a base year and four option periods for FY16-FY20 US Army, Air Force and Marine Corps requirements, currently estimated at a combined total of 375,000 M751, M775 and M781 Practice fuzes per year. The M751 is a single safe point detonating fuze for use on the M879 81mm Full Range Practice Round. It simulates the appearance of the M734A1 Multi-Option Proximity Fuze (same settings but they are not functional). Smoke and flash are emitted through holes in the rear of the mortar cartridge. It has a pyrotechnic charge of 16 grams. The M775 is a single safe point detonating fuze for use on the M769 60mm Full Range Practice Round. It simulates the appearance of the M734A1 Multi-Option Proximity Fuze (same settings but they are not functional). Smoke and flash are emitted through holes in the rear of the mortar cartridge. It has a pyrotechnic charge of 12 grams. The M781 is a single safe point detonating fuze for use on the M931 120mm Full Range Practice Round. It simulates the appearance of the M734A1 Multi-Option Proximity Fuze (same settings but they are not functional). Smoke and flash are emitted through the mortar boom assembly. It has a pyrotechnic charge of 16 grams. All fuze manufacturing facilities must have safety clearance to handle hazard classifications (i.e. 1.2B). Interested offerors should demonstrate that they possess the experience and capability, or that they can obtain such, necessary to fabricate, assemble and inspect the required quantities of Practice Fuzes and obtain the necessary equipment, facilities and tooling required to fabricate and deliver these mortar components at a monthly rate of 20,000.
