The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources with experience in assorted light manufacturing capabilities, to included robotic welding and material finishing, and associated technologies (corporate knowledge, technical expertise, facilities, manufacturing equipment, and product acceptance test hardware). This information will help inform future U.S Government acquisition decisions and identify potential sources for the manufacture of the M205 Tripod for Heavy Machine Guns (NSN: 1005-01-586-5702) and/or the M192 Lightweight Ground Mount (LWGM) for Medium/Light Machine Guns (NSN: 1005-01-680-5028). The M205 Tripod is used with the M2/M2A1 Cal .50 Machine Guns and the MK19 40mm Grenade Machine Gun. The M192 LWGM is used with the M240B/L 7.62mm Medium Machine Guns and the M249 5.56mm Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW). Both the M205 Tripod and the M192 LWGM provide a stable firing platform for delivering controlled, sustained, and accurate fire at extended ranges. Additionally, both are produced to a U.S. Government Technical Data Package (TDP). In addition, an integral Traverse & Elevating (T&E) mechanism is included as part of the M205 Tripod and M192 LWGM systems and provides controlled manipulation in both traverse and elevation. This T&E consists of a machined aluminum housing and numerous precision machined and cast parts to provide the required adjustments. The M205 Tripod's manufacture involves various bent sheet metal parts, with intricate machined features and robotic welding to secure various attaching points. The M192 LWGM's manufacture involves several bent sheet metal parts, as well as a space frame and legs made from metal tubing which are joined using robotic welding techniques. In response to this sources sought, information should be provided on the following areas and topics. Additional information and topics are also encouraged. All responses to this sources sought must be in the ENGLISH language or they will be omitted in the evaluation of information received. Response Interested responsible firms should submit information, 1. literature/brochures not exceeding twenty (20) pages, per respective M205 Tripod or M192 LWGM system, describing production capability and quality assurance plan. Submitted information should address: a) Ability/desire to produce both type of items. b)The current monthly sustainable production rate. c) Production lead time needed to meet First Article Test. d) Description of additional resources needed in order to meet a delivery rate of 150/month if applicable. e) Key tooling and equipment (i.e. cutting/milling, casting) available to meet the requirement. f) Production of similar items whether “other Government/Military contracts” or “Non-Governmental” contracts and the monthly production quantities of such. g) Description of quality assurance plan, including certification or compliance to ISO 9001:2008 (or equivalent)…
