About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source, firm fixed price contract with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) for the continued production of M1156A1 Precision Guidance Kits (PGKs) and variants. The PGK is a guided artillery fuze that provides all-weather capability and accuracy of 50 meters or better, which significantly enhances operational effectiveness and reduces risk to U.S. Soldiers. This sole source award is intended to be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii)(A) due to the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment.
There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. NGSC is the current incumbent contractor and has specialized expertise in the production of PGKs. The anticipated contract value is not specified, but the goal is to provide the PGK capability, which enhances the lethality and accuracy of 155mm High Explosive projectiles. The performance period and quantities to be procured are also not provided in the pre-solicitation notice.
Notice text
The Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source, firm fixed price contract with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), 4700 Nathan Lane North, Plymouth, MN 55442 for the continued production of M1156A1 PGKs and variants.
The PGK is a guided artillery fuze that satisfies the need for all-weather capability. The PGK technology places capability in the hands of the Warfighter for 155mm High Explosive (HE) projectiles (M795 and M549A1) exceeding the threshold requirement for 50m accuracy capability. This capability decreases the likelihood of serious injury or death to US Soldiers. PGK is capable of accuracies ≤ 50 meters, with a goal of ≤ 30 meters, Circular Error Probable (CEP) of designated target location, with similar kinetic effects of current munitions. The PGK GPS guided precision fuze capability significantly enhances operational effectiveness and significantly reduces risk of dispersed units being overwhelmed by larger enemy forces.
This sole source award is intended to be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii)(A) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements; supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
