- Description
- This is a sources-sought synopsis to solicit the interest of manufacturing sources for the production of AIM-9M Sidewinder Rocket Motors (Mk 36 Mod 11 and Mk 36 Mod 13), NSN 1337-01-145-1963 and NSN 1337-01-484-7681, to fulfill Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and US Government requirements. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Air-to-Air Missiles Program Office (PMA-259), intends to procure these motors on a full and open competitive basis. The MK 36 Mod 11 and Mod 13 rocket motors are approximately 71 inches long, 5 inches in diameter, and consist of a reduced smoke propellant cast into a steel tube; three hanger attachment lugs, igniter, mechanical arming handle, and nozzle. The technical data package for the Mk 36 Rocket Motor is classified CONFIDENTIAL. It is anticipated that the resultant contracts will be Firm, Fixed-Price and will contain a base period of one year FY13 and four options for FY14-FY17, which will provide a vehicle for future FMS and United States Government (USG) requirements. Estimated quantity is 1,200 rocket motors for the base year and up to 1,000 rocket motors for each option year. Delivery will be required to begin within 18 months from the date of contract award. This acquisition is being pursued as a full and open competition under the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304 and 41 U.S.C. 253, as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(b). All contractors must meet the Technical Data Package (TDP) requirements, specifically, the First Article Test (FAT), Lot Acceptance Test (LAT), and production acceptance testing/inspections. In addition, the contractor will require a security clearance adequate to receive and store classified information up to CONFIDENTIAL. Due to the classified nature of the TDP, all bidders will be required to comply with all applicable Defense Security Service provisions of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DoD 5220.22-M), including obtaining Facility Security Clearance to the CONFIDENTIAL level. Due to the time-sensitivity of the requirement, this compliance will be required at the time of the final proposal due date; the USG does not anticipate being able to sponsor any potential bidders in their attempt to obtain this clearance. Furthermore, the USG intends to award one or more contracts to the offerors who provide the best overall value, price and other factors considered. There is no commitment by the USG to issue a solicitation, make an award, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties before award of a contract for this effort. The USG intends to host an Industry Day for this procurement. When the USG determines the date, time and location, the USG will post that information in an amendment to this Sources Sought Notice or in the future Synopsis.
