The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command, Joint Munitions and Lethality



Contracting Center, Pictinny Arsenal, NJ on behalf of the Project Manager for

Close Combat Systems (PMCCS) has a requirement to procure the XM104 Non-Lethal

Bursting Grenade (NLBHG). The contractor shall fabricate, test, package and deliver the XM104 Non-Lethal Bursting Grenade (NLBHG) in accordance with the requirements delineated in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Performance Specification. It is anticipated that the Government will issue a Firm-Fixed

Price, five (5) year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for this acquisition. The Contract will contain quantity ranges for each of the five years. The contractor will be required to deliver a minimum of 2,000 grenades per month with a maximum production rate of 210,000 grenades per year.

considered applicable to this effort as limiting competition of these items to the NTIB will maintain critical production capabilities of firms in the

United States and its outlying areas. This NTIB restriction has been placed on these items to maintain the capabilities for the production and handling of fuze, detonator and primer components within the NTIB.
