- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army, ACC-Picatinny, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems, located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is seeking to identify potential manufacturers of a solution to make 20mm ammunition waterproof. SPECIFICATIONS/CAPABILITIES: Interested sources shall address a solution to create a weatherproof seal: Between an approximately 0.769 inch cylindrical projectile and the thin-wall brass case surrounding it. The area of concern is a groove in the projectile with radius of approximately 0.077 inches. The brass case is crimped to the projectile and held in place with this groove. Once crimped, the cartridge will be subjected to substantial external forces during its lifecycle, including those forces associated with cycling the item from sea level to high altitudes. The cartridge needs to maintain its waterproof seal after exposure to the conditions above. Interested firms who feel they are capable of manufacturing a solution to make 20mm ammunition waterproof are invited to indicate their interest by providing the Government a brief summary of their companys capabilities as it relates to the above criteria. Information must be submitted to holly.gregg2@us.army.mil. Please respond no later than 15 days after issuance of this notice and identify 20mm Ammunition Waterproof Sources Sought as the subject of your response. This is a market survey for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on this market survey or otherwise pay for information solicited.
