The U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC is currently seeking possible sources for manufacture and delivery of Spheroidal propellant. ARDEC is seeking information for planning purposes before possibly issuing a solicitation for procurement of Spheroidal propellant manufactured in accordance with ARDEC drawing 12630729. The anticipated solicitation would be for a one year procurement of a delivery quantity of propellant ranging from approximately 50,100 to 84,000 pounds with a potential for four additional option year delivery procurements ranging from 49,000 to 90,500 pounds per option. This propellant procurement will be in support of MACS (Modular Artillery Charge System) LAP (Load, assemble, and Pack) operations. The 155mm M231/M232 series propelling charges, known as MACS, consist of two different propelling charges designed and developed at Picatinny Arsenal, that provide a complete zoning solution for 155MM Artillery applications by using multiples of a basic increment. The M231 charges are used at lower zones (Zones 1 & 2), while M232 series charges are used at progressively higher zones as required. The MACS and their components are on the Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL), Aug 1996. Therefore, the MACS TDP is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C. Sec 2751, ET SEQ) and is subject to DoD Directives 5230.24 and 5230.25. No Quotes or Proposals shall be accepted in response to this Sources Sought Notice. Capabilities Statements only are being accepted at this point in time. Please direct all Statements via email ONLY to Lisa Formoso, Contract Specialist, [email protected].
