Explosive Linear Actuators

This notice is published in accordance with FAR 10.002 and 15.201(e) and is
a Request for Information (RFI) only in support of market research.

The Government’s intent is to identify qualified companies capable of developing and
manufacturing Explosive Linear Actuators for the Homing All Way Killer (HAWK) Missile
System, NSN 1336-00-155-3378, Army Part Number 10669794 revision U and
10183005 revision M, PSC 1336, NAICS code 336419.

Performance of this effort requires the Contractor to have a complete and
comprehensive knowledge of the HAWK system, plus instant access to both current
documentation and future changes. Manufacturing of the HAWK Explosive Linear
Actuators requires a facility capable of handling and processing CLASS V explosives
and technical expertise in chemistry and explosives. This requirement is for the
purchase of new Explosive Linear Actuators unique to the HAWK Missile Systems that
are already in the field.

Any interested parties must comply with the above. All information received will be used
only for planning purposes. It shall not be considered as an Invitation for Bid, Request
for Quotation, Request for Proposal (RFP), or as an obligation on the part of the
Government to respond, or to acquire any products or services.

Any response to this RFI will be treated as information only. No entitlement to payment
of direct costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of Contractor
submission of responses to this RFI to the Government for use of such information. The
information provided may be used by the Army in developing its Acquisition Strategy,
Statement of Work/Statement of Objectives or Performance Specifications. Not
responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. If the
Government issues a solicitation, it will be synopsized on the System Award
Management (SAM.GOV) website. It is the responsibility of any potential offeror to
monitor SAM.GOV for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
