*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

The purpose of Amendment 0001 to Solicitation W15QKN-19-R-0033 is to remove the Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) portion of this requirement in its entirety.

As a result of these changes to Solicitation W15QKN-19-R-0033, the closing date for all responses has been extended to 31 May 2019.

BACKGROUND:

The Army Contracting Command (ACC) New Jersey - Picatinny, on behalf of the Project Manager for Maneuver Ammunition Systems (PM-MAS), issues a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 40mm Non Recurring Engineering (NRE) grenade ammunition. The purpose of this program is to meet the 40mm grenade ammunition integration, fabrication, and testing support requirements. The objectives are to assess enhanced lethality and accuracy technologies for legacy and future 40mm grenade ammunition, improved production and manufacturing capabilities for 40mm ammunition, and better munitions life cycle management for 40mm grenade ammunition. The contractor(s) shall provide all necessary labor, material, supplies, services, facilities, and equipment to perform the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW) in Section C.

COMPETITION APPROACH:

The acquisition is being competed as a partial small business set-aside in accordance with FAR 19.502-4. Up to two awards are anticipated with one award reserved for a Small Business. Competition will be limited for the LAP, Metal Cartridge Cases, Fuzes to the

U.S. and Canada, in order to maintain industrial capabilities. It is the Government's intention to award up to two Firm Fixed Price

(FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract(s) with five one-year ordering periods. The minimum guarantee for each contract is $100,000.00; the total maximum dollar amount for all task orders placed on this program under all contracts is

$9,900,000.00. All period of performance and delivery schedule requirements for any services and supplies will be specified in each task and delivery order.

The Government anticipates that multiple Best Value awards will be made based on an integrated assessment of the factors/sub-factors and their relative order of importance; however, the Government reserves the right to make a single award if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Award(s) will be made to the best overall proposal(s) that are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government and within the constraints of available funding. The Best Value approach allows award to the Offeror(s) whose proposal is the most advantageous to the Government when considering factors in addition to price. These factors will include Technical, Past

Performance, Small Business Participation and Price. For more information regarding proposal submission or the source selection evaluations factors, see Sections L and M of this solicitation.

Each Ordering Period (OP) of the contract shall be from the date of award until one year later. For example, with an estimated award date of 28 August 2019, the ordering periods would be as follows:

Ordering Period 1: 28 August 2019 to 27 August 2020

Ordering Period 2: 28 August 2020 to 27 August 2021

Ordering Period 3: 28 August 2021 to 27 August 2022

Ordering Period 4: 28 August 2022 to 27 August 2023

Ordering Period 5: 28 August 2023 to 27 August 2024

Orders will be placed using the applicable FFP loaded labor rates for the OP during which the orders are issued irrespective of when performance takes place. For instance, if an FFP order is issued on the first day of OP2, then the applicable FFP loaded rates for OP2 will apply. If an FFP order is placed on the last day of OP2, then the applicable FFP loaded rates for OP2 will also apply.

Offerors shall also explain their rationale as to why the percentage of SB participation being utilized for this effort is appropriate for their company. Offerors shall describe their approach and efforts undertaken to utilize small businesses (SB). SB targets will be incorporated into any resulting prime contract and contractors will be required to report SB participation.
