Support- professional: engineering/technical

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the Program Manager - Maneuver Ammunition Systems (PM-MAS), intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Small Caliber Ammunition Design, Manufacture and Non-Recurring Engineering. The proposed procurement will be for engineering/technical support, studies and analyses, manufacturing production and process capability and capacity assessments, product and process design development, test assets, equipment, components, testing, training aides, fabrication and qualification of production representative products, and prove-out of manufacturing and inspection processes for new or existing small caliber munitions systems.

The Government intends to award multiple Firm Fixed Price (FFP)/Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with five (5) one-year (1) ordering periods. Although the preponderance of orders are anticipated to be issued on a FFP or CPFF basis, all contract types listed in FAR Part 16 will be considered for the orders to be issued under this ID/IQ contract.

This is a pre-solicitation notice and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals at this time. The Government anticipates releasing the RFP on or about 26 May 2016. All information is to be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government.

The POC for this action is William Labance, Contract Specialist, william.j.labance.civ@mail.mil, U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey; ACC-NJ-MA, Bldg 10; Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, Telephone: 973-724-6673.
