As previously advised, under synopsis/posting for W15QKN-17-R-0053 dated May 22, 2017, the Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems, intended to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) for the manufacture and delivery of the FMU-153A/B Fuze.

This posting is to advise that the RFP for the FMU-153 A/B Fuze has received a new solicitation number W15QKN-18-R-0016 due to the change in fiscal year.

The FMU-153A/B Fuze is the United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) special purpose fuze used in conjunction with 105mm PGU-44/B projectiles. The projectile is fired from a specially mounted 105mm Howitzer in the AC-130 Gunship. The FMU-153A/B Fuze may be set for either Point Detonating (PD) or Delay (DLY) depending on the type of target. In the PD mode the fuze may be used against soft targets or for registration on hard targets. In the DLY mode the fuze may be used against hard targets where target penetration is desired. The FMU-153A/B Fuze contains a more robust fuze body as compared to typical artillery fuzes to improve hard target penetration.

A single 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) orders will be awarded. The contract will include five one-year ordering periods.

The FMU-153A/B Fuze shall be manufactured, inspected, assembled, packaged and delivered in accordance with the Government Technical Data Package (TDP) and applicable contract requirements, which will be available upon solicitation release. The solicitation will be restricted to the United States and Canada under 10 USC 2304(C) (3). In addition to the FMU-153A/B Fuze, the Mk29-0 Stab Detonator; Stab Detonator Assembly; MK 8 MOD 0 Explosive Lead; Safety Device Delay Arming Assembly MK 49 MOD 1 and Delay Assembly are also restricted to the United States and Canada.

This requirement involves technical data marked "Distribution D - Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only." Interested firms are required to submit a signed and completed DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, Technical Data Request Questionnaire (AMSTA-AR Form 1350), and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for the Government's consideration to provide the TDP.
