Description
The US Army Joint Munitions and Lethality Life Cycle Management Command (JM&L; LCMC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the delivery and assessment of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) for possible use in the Excalibur M982 Extended Range Precision Guided 155mm artillery munition. An IMU is a 6 degree-of-freedom digital inertial measurement subsystem that is a component of a navigation system and which consists of 6 micro-machined silicon sensors; 3 accelerometers, and 3-gyros. The USG is seeking to test IMUs from alternate product sources that currently meet the requirements of the Excalibur IMU Performance Specification, and Electrical Interface Control Document, or hereon known as the IMU Spec and ICD. It is anticipated that the contractor shall provide 4-6 IMUs and conduct characterization assessment before, then again after the Army has conducted environmental conditioning at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The IMU Spec and ICD have limited distribution to DOD contractors; therefore, in order to receive this documentation, interested sources must be DOD contractors and provide DOD certification to the Government. Upon receipt of this verification, two documents will be sent to the authorized contractor. These documents describe the IMU functional, physical, and environmental requirements for operation in precision-guided, 155mm cannon-launched artillery projectiles. Without these two documents, interested sources will be incapable of responding to this or any possible future notice involving the IMU Spec and ICD. This effort is not expected to exceed 6 months from start of contract. The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards. This notice does not constitute a formal Request For Proposal (RFP). The formal RFP which will address a requirement to produce these IMUs will be posted within the next 30 days. The point of contact for this requirement is Ms. Christina Nigro, AMSML-AQ-CA, Bldg 9, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000. E-mail: christina.nigro@us.army.mil, Phone No. 973-724-3125. NOTE: Contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database by accessing the CCR web site at http://www.ccr.gov in order to be eligible for contract award. Numbered Note 8 applies to this acquisition.
