- Description
- Non-Disclosure Non-Use Agreement AMSTA-AR Form 1350 DD FORM 2345 Draft PON NGSAR The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons, is seeking industry's comments on the DRAFT Prototype Opportunity Notice (PON) for Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle (NGSAR). The NGSAR is the first variant of the Next Generation Squad Weapons. The NGSAR will address operational needs identified in various capability based assessments and numerous after action reports. The NGSAR is the planned replacement for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) in Brigade Combat Teams (BCT). It will combine the firepower and range of a machine gun with the precision and ergonomics of a rifle, yielding capability improvements in accuracy, range, and lethality. The weapon will be lightweight and fire lightweight ammunition, improving Soldier mobility, survivability, and firing accuracy. Soldiers will employ the NGSAR against close and extended range targets in all terrains and conditions. The NGSAR support concept will be consistent and comparable to the M249 SAW involving the Army two-level field and sustainment maintenance system. Industry's comments to this DRAFT PON for NGSAR received before March 8, 2018 will be reviewed and considered by the Government for inclusion into the final PON for NGSAR. The final PON for NGSAR is anticipated for release on or about March 9, 2018 with proposals due March 26, 2018. The purpose of the final PON for NGSAR is to award up to five Prototype OTAs under Section 815 OTA authority, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2371b, with the goal of developing a system demonstrator representative of a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) 6. A system Demonstrator refers to a functional prototype weapon, 2,000 rounds ammunition(s), fire control (day and night), bipod, suppressor, enablers (optional), spare part(s) to support firing 2,000 rounds, special tools, and operator manuals capable of firing and demonstrating the proposed capabilities to meet the lethality requirements. Mann Barrels do not constitute functional prototype weapons. See attached DRAT PON for NGSAR.
