- Description
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, on behalf of the Project Manager Close Combat Systems (PM CCS), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is issuing a sources sought announcement in an effort to identify capable sources for the production and delivery of the F562 Signal Cartridge MK4-3 (flame/hot) w/ metal pallet (NSN: 1325-01-323-9921) for the Fiscal Years (FY) 2027-2031. Any resulting contract will also contain First Article Test (FAT) requirements. The U.S. Government is considering one Firm Fixed Price (FFP) production contract with five one-year ordering periods and a yearly production quantity of approximately 30,000-40,000 signal cartridges.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: These requirements are required to support the United States Air Force and the United States Navy bombing missions. The F562 Signal Cartridge MK4-3 (flame/hot) uses red phosphorus to provide a signal of white smoke and a fire flame. The Signal Cartridges can be deployed during day or night exercises to mark the point of impact. It is used with practice bombs (PB) to mark the impact location of the practice bomb. The MK 4 MOD 3 Signal Cartridge is a day or night use signal cartridge. Contained within an aluminum case, the rim end has a percussion primer and the opposite end is sealed with an aluminum disk. The Signal Cartridge contains an expelling charge (smokeless powder) initiated by the primer and red phosphorus. Upon impact, the cartridge is driven forward against the firing pin, initiating the primer at the base of the cartridge. This action fires the three grams of expelling charge and propels it from the open end of the PB. The red phosphorus is a toxic powder that produces a bright flash (for night use) when ignited. The Signal Cartridge will detonate upon impact releasing a large volume of white smoke. Drops of 18 inches or more can cause signal to function. The smoke is produced by the combination of red phosphorus and heat exceeding 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
