Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech, has issued an unrestricted solicitation for the procurement of Impulse Cartridges (NSN 1377-01-063-3168, DODIC: MF08, Model: CCU/43/B). These are critical safety and explosive items used in F-5E, F-5F, F-5N, and T-38 aircraft. The acquisition is for commercial products and services. Proposals are due June 15, 2026.

Scope of Work

This solicitation requires the delivery of 400 production units of Impulse Cartridges, along with various samples for First Article Test (FAT) and Lot Acceptance Test (LAT), including 94 FAT samples, 3 FAT investigative units, 32 LAT samples, and 3 LAT investigative units. Key requirements include submission of technical data per DD Form 1423 (Exhibit A), adherence to item identification and valuation standards (DFARS 252.211-7003), and submission of a Product Baseline. Contractors must also provide Obsolescence Alert Notices and DMSMS Reports, maintain configuration control, and manage Requests for Variances (RFVs). Energetic materials used must not exceed 24 months from manufacturing or retest date.

Contract Details

This is an unrestricted acquisition with a contemplated Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract type. The NAICS code is 325920 with a size standard of 750 employees. The solicitation includes a Government Furnished Property (GFP) attachment detailing items to be provided by the government, which bidders must review for proposal preparation. A Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) specifies required documentation such as Product Baseline Index, Obsolescence Alert Notice, DMSMS Health Assessment Report, and various test reports. An Ammunition Data Card Master (Rev 16) provides detailed technical specifications and traceability for ammunition lots.

Submission & Evaluation

Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to kyle.j.slusser2.civ@us.navy.mil. Evaluation will consider Past Performance (quality and timeliness of delivery), and award may not necessarily go to the lowest-priced quotation. First Article Testing is required, with an estimated cost of $48,116.00, which will be a factor in evaluation. A waiver for FAT may be granted. The solicitation also incorporates FAR clause 52.222-90, "Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors."
