MARKET SURVEY - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: The Government is issuing this request for information (RFI) announcement as part of a market survey for an Improved Fragmentation Hand Grenade. The system capabilities, with associated threshold and objective requirements, are provided in Attachment (1). Key performance parameters (KPPs) are annotated. In general terms, the new grenade is desired to be at least 15 percent improvement in total effectiveness over the current M67 fragmentation grenade. The general form / fit / and function (i.e. hand thrown device) are to remain essentially the same. Responses can consist of either existing or proposed systems. Developmental efforts at the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 or higher may be considered. Firms having access to demonstrated research and prototyping capabilities in this area are invited to submit literature, which describes the general approach, previous related work, and an estimate of overall costs and schedule (rough order of magnitude) in the form of a White Paper. Testing requirements are provided as a reference to ultimate system expectations. If testing is associated with a developmental cost and schedule estimate, please clearly identify. Also, if a system has a demonstrated ability to withstand environmental testing, please clearly state. The White Paper should include estimated or known performance relative to the capabilities stated above. Additional information about the form factor, construction materials, energetic compositions and fuze details should be provided as well if available. Information should also include full system descriptions and maturity information. Interested organizations should respond by providing the Government the following information; point of contact, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, duns number, cage code and or tax ID number, as well as size category (large, small, small disadvantaged, etc) a brief summary of the company's capabilities, description of facilities, personnel, related manufacturing experience, and existing safety approvals. Also provide any supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc. If a respondent chooses to utilize the services of sub-tier vendors or subcontractors, those vendors or subcontractors must meet these criteria.

No support of transporting hazards materials of any kind is associated with this notice. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This RFI does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The U.S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement.
