LSJ - Ballistics_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Micro-Purchase Threshold Justification for Limiting Competition form for a Small Caliber Ballistic Research System. The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal intends to purchase a system from Physics Applications Inc for use in Range 3, with an estimated value redacted. The requirement is specifically for a Small Caliber Ballistic Research System (up to 20mm) that will match the currently used system, including floor stand and mounts for floor operation, fire control system, and remote operation capabilities.

The justification highlights that Physics Applications Inc is the sole designer and manufacturer of this specific system, with unique knowledge of the system design and usage. The current employees at the RIA-JMTC Range are familiar with the system, and the consumables for the requested system match those of the existing system, preventing potential installation errors. The contract will be a fixed-price purchase, utilizing Army funds (AWCF), and is being processed under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, with an exception for urgency, exclusive licensing, brand name, or industrial mobilization.
