Description

The U. S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, in support of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM- CAS) is conducting market research to identify potential qualified sources capable of establishing a process for re-crystallization of Nitroguanidine (NQ) for use in M31A2 propellant for 155mm Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) M232A2 propelling charges. The United States Government (USG) is contemplating using a Stand-Alone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 to satisfy this requirement. However, if the acquisition approach changes, the information obtained from this sources sought notice will be used in the planning and award of the project.

The USG has a stockpile of approximately 17 million pounds NQ material that currently does not meet the specification. The USG is interested in determining if the capability exists to use this stockpile for triple-based propellants by re-crystallizing it into the proper form factor of Type II, class I (low bulk density). The NQ Re-crystallization process under this effort may be used in a subsequent contracting action to re-crystalize the entirety of the existing USG stockpile, and therefore must be scalable to fulfill requirements.

The MACS consists of two (2) types of propelling charges, the M231 and the M232-series, and associated packaging. It uses a "build-a-charge, " incremental-based system; the M231 is used singularly or in pairs for Low Zones (1 & 2) and the M232-series is used in groups of 3, 4 or 5 charges for High Zones (3, 4 & 5). NQ is a key ingredient in M31A2 triple base propellant formulation that is used in the M232-series MACS charges.

There is no Technical Data Package for NQ, as the USG does not own or dictate the process by which NQ is made. However, the NQ must meet MIL-N-494, Type II class I (low bulk density).

To be considered a capable source for this effort, all interested...
