We look forward to your participation. (end update) The Army Contracting Command � Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of Project Manage, Close Combat Systems (PM CCS), is providing information to industry regarding the Grenade, Hand Fragmentation Delay M67 (M67 Fragmentation Hand Grenade), Grenade, Hand: Offensive, M111 (M111 Offensive Hand Grenade), and Body, Practice Hand Grenade: Offensive, M112 (M112 Practice Offensive Hand Grenade Body). The purpose of providing this information is to conduct ongoing market research and to identify interested sources capable of manufacturing and delivering the following items: GRENADE, HAND FRAGMENTATION DELAY M67 (M67 Fragmentation Hand Grenade), NSN: 1330-01-563-0592, DODIC: G881, Top Level Drawing: 9235492, Specification: MIL-DTL-14933. The M67 Fragmentation Hand Grenade produces casualties by high velocity projection of fragments in a uniform pattern when detonated. The M67 utilizes a steel spherical body filled with high explosives that are initiated by a pyrotechnic delay fuze. This device is comprised of three (3) major components: 1) the metal body, 2) a pyrotechnic delay detonating fuze, and 3) the Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) of the explosive composition and the components into the final assembly. The final assembly utilizes military packaging (fiber tube (individual grenade) and wooden overpack). GRENADE, HAND: OFFENSIVE, M111 (M111 Offensive Hand Grenade), NSN: 1330-01-648-9824, DODIC: GG37, Top Level Drawing: 13068375, Specification: MIL-DTL-32581. The M111 Offensive Hand Grenade is designed to produce casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel. The grenade is used for concussive effects in enclosed areas. The M111 produces a shock wave, known as blast overpressure, in enclosed areas greater than those produced by the lethal M67 Fragmentation Hand Grenade during detonation. Therefore, it is very effective against enemy soldiers located in bunkers, buildings, and fortified areas. The output couples a bright flash, loud explosion, and enhanced blast overpressure. BODY, PRACTICE HAND GRENADE: OFFENSIVE, M112 (M112 Practice Offensive Hand Grenade Body), NSN: 1330-01-651-4358, DODIC: GG38, Top Level Drawing: 13068386, Specification: MIL-DTL-32580. The M112 Practice Offensive Hand Grenade Body with M228 Practice Fuze is a reloadable trainer. The M112 body is intended to replicate the size, shape, and weight (minus the fuze weight), and markings of the M111. Responses: 1. Interested companies should respond by providing the Government with a brief summary of the company's capabilities (a description of facilities, personnel, and past manufacturing experience as it relates to the above criteria) and availability. The NAICS code for this item is 332993, Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing with a business size standard of 1500 employees. Respondents should indicate its business size in its response. 2. Interested companies should also provide its minimum and maximum monthly production capability (and if manufacturing resources are shared with other item/production lines) for each of the items. Additionally, it is requested that respondents recommend a Minimum Procurement Quantity required for economical production. 3. Due to current global supply chain and other factors, respondents are asked to identify any components

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
