Market Survey Family of Sheet Explosives W52P1J-20-R-0098 The Army Contracting Command, Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of the Project Manager for Close Combat Systems (PM-CCS), is conducting a Market Survey to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing and delivering the following items: DODIC NSN Nomenclature M980 1375-01-562-3014 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 38FT M981 1375-01-562-3220 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 25FT M982 1375-01-568-2740 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 19FT M983 1375-01-568-2737 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 15FT M984 1375-01-562-3225 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 13FT M985 1375-01-568-2729 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 11FT M986 1375-01-568-2716 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 9FT M993 1375-01-568-2743 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 50FT M994 1375-01-565-8411 Charge, Demolition, Sheet, Roll 76FT M060 1375-01-399-3720 M186 Demolition Charge Roll M024 1375-01-399-3718 M118 Charge, Demolition Block MW84 1375-01-565-5339 MK75 Mod 0 Kit, Demolition, Tubular MM30 1375-01-563-1105 MK140 Mod 0, Charge, Demolition Flexible The flexible explosives contained in the Flexible Demolition Charges may vary from PETN to RDX based explosives. The flexible explosive used must meet the requirements of MIL-PRF-46676 and be approved by the Army Qualification Authority. The flexible explosive demolition rolls, sheets, tubes, and blocks are used in general demolition as a cutting or breaching charge. The flexible explosive used in explosive rolls, blocks, and tubes is completely waterproof for use in underwater demolition without the addition of protective coatings. The flexible explosive demolition charges can be initiated by blasting caps. The MK140 is a Booster that interfaces with Blasting Caps and Detonators. The M980–M994 series flexible sheet Demolition Charges are rolls of flexible explosives ranging from 9 feet to 76 feet lengths and is available in 10 inch wide rolls. The weight per 20 inches varies from 7 ounces to 57 ounces, and the thickness ranges from 0.043 inches to 0.333 inches. Each roll weighs 20 pounds total and the explosive composition is either PETN or RDX. The M980, M981, M993, and M994 are packaged 2 charges per wooden box; and 24 wooden boxes and per pallet. The M982, M983, M984, M985, and M986 are packaged 1 charge per wooden box, and 24 wooden boxes per pallet. The M186 Demolition Charge Roll (Drawing 9297231-1, DODIC: M060, NSN: 1375-01-399-3720) is a roll of flexible explosive (rolled on a 16in. diameter nylon spool) packed in a canvas bag with a carrying strap. Each roll is 3 inches in width, ¼ inch in thickness, and 50 feet in length. Each foot is half-a-pound of flexible explosive and the total explosive weight of the roll is 25 pounds. Included with each canvas bag are 15 M8 blasting cap holders. The flexible explosive has a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape attached to one surface. M186 charge is especially adaptable for demolishing targets where long lengths of flexible explosives are required. Three M186 rolls are packaged in a wirebound box in accordance with Drawing 9216715. The M118 Charge, Demolition Block (Drawing 9204247, DODIC: M024, NSN: 1375-01-399-3718) is a block of four 1/2-pound sheets of flexible explosive packed in a plastic envelope. Each sheet is 12 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 1 inch in thickness. Each sheet of the explosive has a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape attached to one surface. Twenty M118s with a bag of 80 M8 blasting cap holders are packaged in a wirebound box in accordance with Drawing 8876128. The MK75 Mod 0 Charge Kit, Demolition, Tubular (Drawing 2512697, DODIC: MW84, NSN: 1375-01-565-5339) contains a 25' long, 50 lb. demolition charge made of flexible explosives (Drawing 3192364). It is 2.75in. OD with a 1.75in. ID occupied by a corrugated tube (drainage tile) which prevents collapsing. It is covered by a heat-shrunken plastic sheath to enhance durability.
