Sources Sought Synopsis – ICBM MMII Demilitarization Classification Original Set Aside: None Product Service Code: 1337 – Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Explosive Propulsion Units, Solid Fuel: and Components NAICS Code: 336414 Rockets (guided missiles), space and military, complete, manufacturing 336415 Propulsion units and parts, guided missile and space vehicle, manufacturing 325180 Solid fuel propellants, inorganic, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing Place of Performance: United States of America Description The purpose of this Sources Sought is for Market Research purposes only. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this Sources Sought notice or on any follow-up information requests. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Space Systems Command (SSC), Assured Access to Space (AATS), Small Launch and Targets Division (SSC/AAMX) manages the Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP). RSLP is requesting industry responses in the form of a “Statement of Capabilities” (SOC) for the wash out, or other demilitarization method, of Minuteman II ballistic missile motors. The expected period of performance of the contract is five (5) years with a possible option to extend for an additional five (5) years (10 years total). The expected time to start operations is requested to be included in your submitted SOC. No Government non-recurring expenses (NRE) are expected in your responses. Objective: The goal of this RFI is to collect detailed information on available solutions, methods, technologies, and vendor capabilities to perform demilitarization of Minuteman II Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) SR-19 and M55 motors to 5X certification. The contractor will need to demilitarize removed components in accordance with (IAW) DoDI 4140.01 and 4160.28 Defense Logistics Agency requirements. The Government estimates a minimum of 12 motors annually will require demilitarization with a maximum of 48 motors annually until completion. Minimum of (91) ea. SR-19 motors and (87) ea. M55 motors will require demilitarization by wash out or other means. In addition, there are potentially up to an additional (41) SR19 and (63) M55 motors that will require demilitarization by wash out or other means. The M55 Stage I motor is approximately 54K lbs., 25 ft. in length and the case consists of a D6AC Steel case. The SR-19 Stage II motor is approximately 15K lbs., 14 ft. in length and the case consists of 6AL-4V Titanium. The type of work to be performed under this contract shall include but is not limited to: Breakdown and/or wash out of Existing Rocket Motor Casings: Need contractor (KTR) to be able to “Receive and store MMII motors and components.” Validate motor breakdown and rubble processing with MMII Stages 1, 2 & 3 motors including handling the Ammonium Perchlorate (AP) laden water. Ensure all waste streams adhere to local and federal standards to limit exposure to the environment. Report work progress as required and submit required documentation to government agencies as directed.
