Targets and Simulated Equipment-Camp Grayling and Ft. Custer

The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs issued a Request for Proposal on February 16, 2023, for the procurement of consumable range targets, simulated military training equipment, and associated supplies for two military training facilities: Camp Grayling National All-Domain Warfare Center and Fort Custer Training Center, both located in Michigan and falling under Clinton County jurisdiction. The procurement seeks one or more vendors capable of providing targets, target backers, target pasters, simulated military equipment, munitions, and related consumable items that comply with Army TC 25-8 specifications and function in all-weather conditions. Deliverables include molded plastic training targets (truck frontal and flank targets, medium and heavily armored tank targets), range lane markers in multiple sizes, firing line support stands, silhouette targets (E-type and F-type), three-dimensional Ivan targets, thermal and non-thermal target components, paper targets, backer boards, steel reactive targets, safety equipment, and numerous pyrotechnic simulation devices designed to replicate munition effects including mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, and smoke munitions. All products must be compatible with current Inveris/Meggitt and SAAB target equipment already deployed at both installations, available in multiple colors including Olive Drab Green, Orange, Yellow, Red, White, Black, Tan, Blue, and Gray, and meet specific dimensional, weight, durability, and color specifications established by Army regulations. Proposals were due on March 16, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, with an anticipated contract effective date of March 23, 2023. Deliveries must occur within 30 calendar days of order receipt during facility business hours (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday). Proposals must score a minimum of 80 points on technical evaluation criteria to have pricing evaluated, and the State reserves the right to consider prior performance, overall economic impact, and total cost of ownership in its award decision.
