N0016425SNB31 - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT - SIGNALS, SMOKE, AND ILLUMINATION, MARINE, MK 140 MOD 0 (RED), MK 141 MOD 0 (GREEN), AND MK 144 MOD 0 (YELLOW) - FSC 1370- NAICS 325998

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.
Physical Requirements (for all signals)
