The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of the Product Director for Demilitarization and the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources possessing demilitarization facilities, experience, and expertise, necessary for demilitarization and disposal of shotgun shells. The following list of shotgun DODICs that may be included in a future Request for Proposal (RFP): A024, A011, A055, A017, A014, A010, A023, AA66. A020, AA82, AB08, AA52, A005, A003, AA62, A006, AA63, A015, A001, A016, A046, AA64, A007, A057, AA86, A002, A013 and A052.
Demilitarization (DEMIL) is defined as the act of eliminating the functional capabilities and/or inherent military design features from Department of Defense (DoD) property by making the items unsuitable for further military use. Methods and degree range from removal and destruction of critical features up to full destruction by cutting, crushing, shredding, melting, burning, etc. DEMIL is required to prevent property from being used for its originally intended purpose and to prevent the release of inherent design information that could be used against the United States. Demil applies to material in both serviceable and unserviceable condition. Open burn/open detonation will not be an acceptable demilitarization method under this effort. This Sources Sought Notice specifically deals shotgun shells in the DoD inventory.
All interested sources possessing the permitted facilities and expertise necessary for Demilitarization and Disposal of shotgun shells and components will be considered. Responses shall provide address, storage, and demilitarization capabilities, permit details of the already permitted and fully operational demilitarization facilities.
