This is a Pre-solicitation Notice and the Government anticipates issuing a formal 100% Small Business Set-Aide Request for Proposal (RFP), on or around 30 August 2019, to procure 40mm M320 and 40mm M320A1 Grenade Launcher Modules (GLMs) with the potential awardee building the GLMs in accordance with Government provided Technical Data Package (TDP). The Government intends to award a single award IDIQ contract with a five year ordering period on a best value trade-off basis. Delivery orders will be issued on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis. The estimated quantities expected to be ordered during the ordering period are 1,000 40mm M320 GLMs and 15,000 40mm M320A1 GLMs. It is anticipated that delivery orders will generally be placed annually. However, delivery orders may be placed more or less often to accommodate changing needs of the Government. Any offeror awarded a contract resulting from the formal RFP shall be required to conduct First Article Test(s) and Lot Acceptance Test(s). Awardee will be required to safely and securely store Government furnished rifles, carbines, grenade launchers, 5.56 and 40mm ammunition, and equipment to be considered for award. Accordingly, a favorable responsibility determination may be subject to a favorable Safety Pre-award Survey as determined by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and an approval by the Defense Security Service for physical security level(s) designated for the weapons and ammunitions manufactured by the contractor or provided by the Government. The Government's TDP is categorized as Distribution D and is restricted to the terms of the Software License Agreement (SLA). This TDP contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq.) or Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C., App 2401, et seq.), as amended. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. This restriction also applies to distribution of the TDP to all subcontractors at all tiers.
