This acquisition is subject to Full and Open competition.

The following is the good faith estimated quantity projection (FY/QTY):

FY16 - 968,169 each
FY17 - 957,806 each

NOTE: Quantities are estimates only and may be less than or potentially more than the estimated quantities shown above. These requirements are currently unfunded.
In order to allow maximum flexibility to procure additional unanticipated customer requirements, particularly in the case of a national emergency, the solicitation will be structured to procure up to 1,800,000 each per Fiscal Year (9,000,000 total).

This solicitation will be issued electronically in accordance with FAR 4.502 and 5.102, therefore, hardcopies will not be provided. Vendors wishing an electronic copy may download it on or after the issue date by accessing the following address via the internet: http://www4.osc.army.mil/padds_web/refdb.htm

CAUTION: This solicitation will be issued electronically as will any amendments thereto. Because of this, the Government is under no obligation and is in fact unable to maintain a bidder's mailing list. It is therefore incumbent upon any interested parties to periodically access the above internet address in order to obtain any amendments which may be issued. Failure to obtain any said amendments and to respond to them prior to the date and time set for bid opening/receipt of proposals may render your bid or proposal nonresponsive and result in the rejection of the same.
