About this file
This document contains an industry question-and-answer file and a federal contract solicitation for 57mm target practice cartridges. The solicitation seeks proposals for the manufacture, assembly, testing, and delivery of 57mm target practice cartridges to be used with the MK 110 57mm gun mount. The cartridges will consist of an inert projectile, brass cartridge case, primer, and low vulnerability ammunition propellant. The Navy intends to award up to three indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts for a five-year period to responsible offerors whose proposals represent the best value. The tradeoff process will be used to evaluate technical factors, past performance, price, and small business subcontracting plans. Proposals are due upon release of the solicitation, which is available electronically only. Interested parties must request controlled technical information and drawings by providing contact information to the point of contact.

Questions from Industry 08 May 2020 Q: Does the cartridge case under this solicitation need to meet Insensitive Munitions (IM) requirements?
A: Though IM reduces the technical risk of the contract, the Government does not have a requirement that the cartridge case meet IM requirements.
18 May 2020 Q: Will any of the planned awards be Set Aside for Small Business Concerns?
A: The award(s) will not include Set Asides for Small Businesses. Though, there is a Small Business Subcontracting Plan requirement as noted in Sections L/M of the Solicitation.
Q: Is there a directed source for the Low Vulnerability Ammunition propellant?
A: The pre-solicitation referenced Low Vulnerability Ammunition propellant. This, however, was removed in the solicitation as it is not a requirement to use this specific propellant. The contractor must use a propellant that meets the requirements in the weapon specification (WS 35719) and one that has satisfied USN qualification requirements prior to delivery.
Q: Is there source control for any other component?
A: Scepter (CAGE 36976) is the only approved source of supply for the MK 806 57mm Container per drawing 53711-8215628. Also, Bofors (CAGE H9121) and BAE Systems (CAGE 44114) are currently the only approved sources for the MK 8 Clip per drawing 53711-8215627.
Q: Will the USG provide Chamber Gauging, or pre-production access to the Mk110 as GFE or GFM?
A: The only GFE/GFM provided will be MK 12 pallets. Drawing 53711-8479618 is provided as an interface control drawing.
Q: What are the component and cartridge level critical characteristics for the Mk296 Mod 0 cartridge?
A: The Government does not own the TDP for the MK296 MOD 0 Cartridge, a contractor-specific 57mm TP design. In addition to the characteristics identified in WS 35719, Table V, the contractor must assign characteristics for their 57mm design in accordance with WS 35719, paragraph 4.4.1.
