The solicitation response date is November 24, 2025, with the formal solicitation to be available on SAM.gov no earlier than that date. First article testing is not required, but production lot testing and contractor data requirements will apply.

The Government requires delivery of 362 units of NSN 1377-01-394-1271 and 774 units of NSN 1377-01-394-1272, for a combined total of 1,136 units.

A pre-award safety survey will be mandated given the explosive nature of these components. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Technical data for review will be made available through the SAM.gov platform prior to solicitation release.
