Marking rounds (blue/red) will be used with the Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK). The CCMCK is a user installed temporary weapon conversion system that allows the Soldier to employ an individual weapon (M9, M11, and M4) at a minimum engagement distance of 5 feet using low velocity marking ammunition, while precluding the weapon from firing standard service ammunition. The marking ammunition shall be a reduced-energy, non-lethal cartridge that leaves a bright, water-soluble color marking compound on target upon impact, without penetrating the soldiers Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) or Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE). The visible impact left by the marking compound allows for an accurate assessment of simulated lethality and shot placement. The ammunition must be compatible with the current US Army qualified CCMCK weapon conversion system for the M9 and M11 and the US Marine Corps qualified CCMCK upper receiver conversion system for the M4 Carbine. The National Stock Number (NSN) for the 9mm M9 Weapon CCMCK conversion kit is 1005-20-003-2362. The NSN for the M11 weapon CCMCK conversion kit is 1005-20-003-2361. The NSN for the M4 Carbine CCMCK upper receiver conversion kit is 1005-01-454-9283. No additional weapon conversions or modifications outside of the current CCMCK system will be allowed. Those sources not having a previously verified design should also submit an outline of their plans and schedule to verify their design in addition to any backup data to support claims that their design will conform to the MIL-PRF-32312 requirements at their own expense. The Performance Specification is classified Distribution D (Authorized to the Department of Defense and DoD contractors only). Requests for the performance specification shall be submitted in writing using AMSTA-AR Form 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire, along with a signed DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement form, and a fully executed Non-Disclosure and Non Use Agreement. Offerors must be registered with the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office to obtain a copy of the specification and top drawings (See www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/ for instructions and information). Offerors should submit their certification via DD Form 2345 or register immediately. In order to provide the data to foreign subcontractors, offerors must apply for an export license. An offeror's delay in applying for DD 2345 certification or an export license will not be a basis to extend the closing date of any future request for proposal. PLANNED ACQUISITION This notice is being issued for informational purposes only. The Government is seeking interested sources to fulfill FY21-FY26 requirements. The estimated quantity to be purchased is approximately 40M. Initially delivery is required 180 days after award at a rate of 700K per month.
