About this file

This document is a Salient Characteristics / Requirements Document for a non-commercial indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) task order supply type contract solicited by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

The key requirements are for ARL to acquire a variety of double-based and potentially triple-based propellants in various form factors to support testing of large and medium direct fire munitions and apparatuses. Anticipated specifications may include manufacturing of JA2/RPD380 and M30 propellants, as well as novel propellants with novel ingredients. Additional requirements include providing propellant description sheets, die sets to finish the propellants, finishing the propellants to desired sizes, and conducting burn rate experimentation. Pricing is required for the per-pound manufacturing costs, die set costs, and burn rate experimentation. The anticipated contract period is from 9/5/2024.

Salient Characteristics / Requirements Document

Signature (typed name): XXXX

Anticipated Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

The Army Research Laboraty (ARL) is seeking a non-commercial indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) task order supply type contract to satisfy the requirement for a variety of propellant types to support testing at multiple ARL experimental facility ranges for large and medium direct fire munitions and apparatuses. Generally, ARL is seeking potential vendors capable of manufacturing a variety of double-based (possibly triple base) propellants in a variety of form factors that fit ARL’s minimum needs. The propellants produced will need a variety in final form factors based on intended function.

This may encompass requiring a variety of perforation quantity/size, grain lengths, and grain diameters. Additionally, ARL requires a propellant description sheet of each purchased propellant detailing chemical make-up and burn rate data. Anticipated specifications at each task order level, may include the following:

• manufacture double based propellant (JA2/RPD380) (scroll stock) - $/lb

• manufacture triple-based propellant (M30) (scroll stock) -$/lb

• manufacture novel propellant with novel ingredients, HMX, or government supplied ingredient) (scroll stock) -$/lb

• die set to finish prop (if need to manufacture) - $ / die

• finishing the propellant to desired size- $/lb (if not wrapped up in the manufacturing cost)

• burn rate experimentation - $/lot
