SOLE SOURCE - MK 25 MOD 0 - NON-LETHAL, 9-BANG DIVERSIONARY HAND GRENADE
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, intends to award a five-year, sole-source IDIQ contract to American Rheinmetall Munition Inc. for the production of the MK 25 Mod 0 Non-Lethal Hand Grenade, citing lack of technical data and unacceptable delays from other sources. The contract will be performed in Vienna, VA, and no budget amount is specified. Interested parties may challenge the sole-source determination by submitting a capability package, including a white paper with evidence of manufacturing similar pyrotechnic or non-lethal munitions. Submissions must include a budgetary estimate for test articles and production units, details on technical performance, and a demonstration offer if available. Responses must be directed to the NSWC Crane POC, with no funding currently available for this effort.
