QCCCF FACILITY MANAGEMENT AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SOW
QUAD CITY CARTRIDGE CASE FACILITY (QCCCF) FACILITY MANAGEMENT AND
NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Statement of Work (SOW)
1.0 Introduction
The Project Lead – Joint Services (PL JS) has a requirement for contractor oversight, maintenance and new product development at the reactivated Quad City Cartridge Case Facility (QCCCF) at Rock Island Arsenal (RIA).
The QCCCF is a state-of-the-art facility with deep draw production capabilities to produce both brass and steel cartridge cases (world-wide single point failure for steel cartridge case production). The Defense Industrial Reserve Act requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to maintain a nucleus of Government-owned plants and equipment and an industrial reserve of equipment for emergencies. DOD Directive 4005.1 and DOD Manual 4005 implement the Act and require and provide for the retention of a responsive industrial base. Army Regulation 700-90 requires reliance primarily on private industry, supplemented by Government-owned facilities;
when necessary, to provide sufficient industrial base capability to meet required readiness.
PL JS requires advanced manufacturing and tooling expertise to spur innovation and to invest in cross-cutting business solutions, multi-system-benefit manufacturing R&D, new product prototype process development, process verification studies, pilot trials, and pilot of medium and large caliber steel/brass cartridge cases and other ammunition components (e.g. deep drawn rocket motor cases and pressed shape charge liners) to provide to the DoD. PL JS requires on-site advanced manufacturing expertise to overcome manufacturing challenges, provide comprehensive manufacturing solutions, and deliver economical and efficient manufacturing and production model(s) to efficiently workload the QCCCF with a mix of developmental products (prototypes, pilot trials, pilot production, low-rate initial production (LRIP)) and an annual sustained full-rate production cadence of stable products.
2.0 Scope
The scope consists of developing an innovative new product prototype, to include manufacturing process development and verification studies leading to pilot scale trials and pilot production runs for the manufacture of DoD unique munition components and cartridge case products at the recently reactivated QCCCF at RIA.
The intent of PL JS is that QCCCF be operated as a Government- owned, Contractor operated (GOCO) facility. It is of strategic importance that the QCCCF consists of contractor personnel to keep the facility “warm” at low production levels to maintain the equipment, process, and expertise. This approach helps ensure the viability of manufacturing ammunition cartridge cases when required. Proofing advanced manufacturing and next generation in-process technologies is critical to promote innovation, allow technical and economic strategies to evolve, and leverage academic, industrial, and/or Government expertise to strengthen and grow the QCCCF manufacturing ecosystem. In addition, other munition prototype components require new product prototyping, manufacturing process development, and verification studies leading to pilot scale trials, including the manufacturing prototyping/prove-out work for other potential munition items, that can be manufactured at the QCCCF.
To foster an environment for developing creative solutions for prototypes at the QCCCF, PL JS Production Base Support (PBS) funding will be utilized to direct fund the utilities and to maintain the facility (all associated requirements, Performance Work Statements (PWSs) requirements) during years 1 through 3 of the contract. During the 30th month of the contract, the Contractor will provide a status update to PL JS on their creative solutions for prototypes at the QCCCF (Deliverable 001). PL JS will analyze the status update and determine if additional time and/or funds are required for the Contractor to finalize their prototype efforts. Beginning in year 4 of the contract, it is anticipated that the utilities and maintenance of the facility (all associated requirements, PWS requirements) will be funded by the Contractor; the costs will be factored into the price of the product/workload identified by the Contractor. The QCCCF will be eligible to obtain PBS funds for modernization/upgrades/maintenance efforts, based on the availability of funds and competing PBS priorities.
Both pilot trials and pilot production runs will focus on identifying manufacturing challenges and identifying advanced manufacturing and tooling solutions to achieve steady state, sustained, and low-rate continuous production cadence at QCCCF with high confidence of achieving program cost, schedule and performance requirements while securing a stable industrial base capability. The scope includes developing process workflow and labor force optimization models to efficiently change between product lines and/or blend a stable product line with prototype development, pilot trials, and pilot production of next-generation systems.
The end goal is to develop a manufacturing and production model to efficiently workload the QCCCF with a mix of developmental products (prototypes, pilot trials, pilot production, low-rate initial production (LRIP)) and an annual sustained full-rate production cadence of stable products.
All work under this contract shall be conducted in a manner that protects the environment, assures the safety, health, and security of employees and the public, and protects the safety and security of federal real, personal, and intellectual property.
