Spade_Damper--13006481.pdf

The document is a detailed technical drawing for a Spade Damper Assembly, specifically part number 13006481, designed for the M777 Lightweight Towed 155mm Howitzer. The technical drawing provides comprehensive engineering specifications, including dimensional details for multiple components such as the outer sleeve (made from 7075-T7351 hard-coated anodized aluminum), plunger (chrome-plated corrosion-resistant steel), and associated mechanical interfaces. The drawing includes multiple view perspectives - top, side, and cross-sectional views - with precise measurements, geometric tolerances, and technical annotations that would enable precise manufacturing of the spade damper components.

The technical drawing corresponds to a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for the Army Contracting Command at Picatinny Arsenal, seeking vendors capable of producing up to 100 Spade Damper Assemblies for the M777 Howitzer. The anticipated procurement is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of FY 2026, with vendors required to demonstrate capabilities in metal fabrication, precision machining, surface treatments (anodizing, chrome plating), dimensional inspection, and environmental testing. Interested vendors must submit detailed capability statements by July 9th, highlighting their manufacturing processes, quality management systems, facility specifications, and experience with military-grade mechanical components.
