Offensive, Scalable MK21 Mod 0, testing, inert models and cutaways of production units, and
fuzes. The ordering period for the requirements listed is five (5) years with a contract minimum

needs of the agency as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. This is being sole sourced because if the
MK21 Mod 0 was competed, any new device would require qualification testing that would take
a minimum of three (3) years and this would cause detrimental delays to the production of
grenades for inventory and a duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be
recovered through competition. The duplicative costs and delay necessitated are from
developmental testing, safety testing, insensitive munitions testing and board approval, hazard
classification testing and board approval, fuze testing and board approval, post-test reporting,
joint safety board approvals, user evaluations, item manual updates, and user training. All
responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the
agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed
contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the
