Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is issuing this RFI/Sources Sought as part of market research in accordance with FAR paragraph 15.201(e) and FAR 10.001(a)(3)(i), to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency-s requirements exist and to determine the availability and technical capability of industry to provide varying configurations of Signals, Smoke, and Illumination, Marine, MK 140 Mod 0 (Red), MK 141 Mod 0 (Green), and MK 144 MOD 0 (Yellow).

The Submarine Signal is a complex family of pyrotechnic devices of various color displays: Red (MK 140), Green (MK 141), and Yellow (MK 144). The signals are used to produce aerial pyrotechnic displays from a submarine launcher. The signal is an all-water initiated marine signal containing a hydrostatic fuse and upon functioning, produces parachute suspended red, green, and yellow (respectively) smoke and flare displays. The complexity of the current design and low procurement volume results in a manufacturing environment that is operator-skill dependent and costly in terms of equipment and tooling. The signals have historically had prolonged lead times resulting in higher production engineering costs and a strain on inventory levels. The signals are approximately 39.0 inches long by 3.0 inches in diameter, weigh approximately 8.0 pounds, and the explosive weight is approximately 13.8 ounces.
