- Description
- The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command (ACC) - New Jersey and the Office of the Project Manager for Soldier Weapons are seeking companies that have a system that meets the requirements for the US Army's Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK) system. The CCMCK system requirements are identified in the Performance Specification (PRF 13021939), attached. The CCMCK is a user installed temporary weapon conversion system that allows Soldiers to employ individual weapons (M16A2/A3/A4, M4/M4A1, and M249) at short range using the M1042 and M1071 low velocity marking ammunition while precluding the weapon from firing standard service ammunition. The conversion kit will be evaluated as a system, shall be able to convert individual weapons, and work with the usage of US Army Type Classified man marking ammunition. The installation and usage of the Conversion Kit must not result in any diminished performance characteristic associated with the individual weapon systems. Interested firms should submit literature/brochures describing product technical capabilities, design details and operational characteristics, and production capability (monthly sustainable production rate). They should also provide as a minimum, a summary of the testing done to demonstrate the system meets the design verification requirements of the performance specification and/or verification that their system has successfully completed all design verification testing. Sources who are interested in submitting a proposal will be responsible for the cost of any verification testing in order to be considered for award. Submissions shall also include a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) unit price (per kit) estimate for the following quantity ranges: 1 - 499; 500 - 1,000; 1,001 - 5,000; 5,001 - 10,000 and 10,001 - 20,000 for each production year from FY13 thru FY16.
