XM919 INDIVIDUAL ASSAULT MUNITION (IAM) - W15QKN-23-R-0089

NOTE: Due to an administrative issue, the XM919 IAM requirement has been assigned a new solicitation number.  The previous solicitation number, W15QKN-23-R-0056 is being replaced with new solicitation number W15QKN-23-R-0089. There have been no other changes to the XM919 IAM solicitation. If any future changes are required, they will be made in the form of an amendment to solicitation W15QKN-23-R-0089 and posted in SAM.gov.

U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Close Combat Systems (PM-CCS), is issuing this request for proposal (RFP) for the production of the XM919 Individual Assault Munition (IAM), utilizing Full and Open Competition (F&OC) procedures. The XM919 IAM tactical munition is a disposable, lightweight, single shot, multi-target, and Fire from Enclosure (FFE) capable Shoulder Launched Munition (SLM). The XM919 IAM system consists of the XM919 IAM tactical munition and training devices to include the XM922 Sub-Caliber Trainer, associated Sub-Caliber Tracer Cartridge, Field Handling Trainer (FHT), and spare parts. The XM919 IAM is for combat units at the squad level, employed by an individual Soldier. This will reduce the Soldier’s need to carry multiple systems, as they will no longer have to choose between an anti-armor or an anti-structure capability.

The anticipated contract will require performance of Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) activities at a location(s) within the United States (U.S.) no later than the start of the third (3rd) through fifth (5th) ordering periods of the contract. This will provide potential foreign sources with an opportunity to transition LAP to a location(s) in the U.S. during the first two (2) ordering periods of the contract. The anticipated award date for this acquisition is projected for second quarter (2Q) FY24.

Specifications: The contractor will be required to provide all necessary labor, material, supplies, services, facilities, and equipment to perform the requirements of the referenced RFP. The XM919 IAM, XM922 sub-caliber and sub-caliber tracer cartridge ammunition attributes (technical performance, safety, target defeat, technical documentation / manuals) will be defined within the XM919 IAM, XM922 sub-caliber and sub-caliber tracer cartridge ammunition Performance Specifications (P-Specs).

Planned Acquisition: The Government intends to award a contract without discussions (except for clarification as described in FAR 15.306(a)), as permitted by FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals.

The Government intends to award a single five-year, Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) production contract, with Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) delivery orders. The contract will consist of five 12-month ordering periods.

Ordering Period 1: 12 months from the date of award

Ordering Period 3: 12 months from the end of Ordering Period 2
