Multiple variants of Foreign, Commercial and Non-Standard Ammunition (NSA) and ammunition related items in accordance with the attached Master Statement of Work (SOW) and referenced General and Family Specifications for Non-Standard Ammunition, and 2. Foreign Non-Standard Mortar Weapon Systems (NS MWS) and ATGM Launchers. SPECIFICATIONS: Interested sources shall demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements set forth in the General and Family Specifications for Non Standard Ammunition and Master SOW by submitting a sample Technical Data Package (TDP) for 40mm OG-7V HE/FRAG or 40mm PG-7VM HEAT ammunition and the M69A 82mm Mortar Weapon System. Packaging and markings for hazardous material must comply with (1.) the requirements for the mode of transportation and (2.) the applicable performance packaging contained in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG). Interested sources must have the capability to supply and deliver the NSA, ammunition related items or NS MWS to multiple locations around the United States and OCONUS locations to support the U.S. Government's mission in accordance with all applicable U.S. and foreign regulations for the transit of NSA and NS MWS. Sources shall obtain and maintain proper registrations and licenses for conducting these types of businesses. Interested sources must demonstrate ISO 9001 certification or compliance, must be registered with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, must hold a Federal Firearms License (FFL) Type 11 - Importer of Destructive Devices required to ship ammunition items and weapons into the US, and must demonstrate to DCMA the financial capability to support orders with Foreign suppliers. All interested sources meeting the above criteria must also be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM) and maintain an active status.
