INTRODUCTION The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ) on behalf of the U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Ammunition & Energetics (CPE A&E), Office of the Project Manager Close Combat Systems (PM CCS) Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is issuing this Sources Sought Notice as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest and industry technologies available for the production and delivery of lightweight shoulder launched munition (SLM-LW). USG Technical Data Packages (TDPs) will not be made available. This effort will be a program supporting Department of War ammunition stockpile and training requirements for SLM-LW. The period of performance (POP) of this requirement is expected to be five (5) years and may result in a Requirements Contract or Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Orders.

The SLM-LW will be single-shot, disposable, and capable of engaging multiple targets (light armor, earth/timber bunkers, reinforced concrete, adobe and triple brick structures). Potential sources will be able to support/provide the manufacturing, production, inspection, testing, packaging, shipping and delivery of a SLM-LW solution. This requirement includes the procurement of SLM-LW training devices and spare parts for trainer maintenance. Potential SLM-LW training devices include a SLM-LW sub-caliber trainer and inert Field Handling Trainer (FHT) to include operator’s manuals and maintenance manuals. The training solution will serve to increase the Soldier's proficiency with the SLM-LW and ensure its successful integration into combat operations.
