Added: Nov 25, 2008 3:55 pm The US Army Sustainment Command, Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL has a requirement for the production of various Mortar and Artillery components in accordance with Government Technical Data Packages (TDPs). Go to the Government Agency URL (http://www.aschq.army.mil/ac/aais/ioc/ArtilleryandMortar/Artillery.aspx) for a list of the artillery and mortar components, with associated drawing numbers, distribution levels and estimated quantities being solicited under this announcement for Request for Proposal (RFP) W52P1J-08-R-0088. Additional artillery and mortar components are being solicited by the US Army Contracting Command, Joint Munitions & Lethality (JM&L) Contracting Center, Picatinny, New Jersey, under a separate announcement, RFP W15QKN-09-R-0364. Those additional components, and the POC at ASC, are identified separately at the Government Agency URL. Both solicitations are total small business set-asides.

The Government anticipates utilizing best value procedures to award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a base contract ordering period of 5 years and an optional ordering period for an additional 5 years (FY09-FY18). As the need for individual ammunition components arises, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) delivery orders will be competed among the small businesses holding IDIQ contracts for the respective component in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1), Fair Opportunity.

The associated North American Industry Classification System Codes (NAICS) for the categories of mortar and artillery components are as follows: Lifting Plugs, NAICS 332993; Parachutes, NAICS 314999/339999; Containers, NAICS 332439; Fin Assemblies, NAICS 332993; Delay Element, NAICS 332993.

All interested parties requesting a TDP with Distribution Level C or D will be required to submit a certified DD2345 in accordance with DoD Directive 5230.25, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement, as shown in the Government Agency URL. Instructions for completing the DD2345 can be found at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/ under Documents. The phone number to coordinate the electronic submission of the DD 2345 is 800-352-3572.
