Amendment to W15QKN-09-Z-0306

The contract amendment modifies the fourth paragraph of Special Announcement W15QKN-09-Z-0306 by removing the requirement that parties participating in both the March and September 2009 demonstrations must submit different designs for each event. The original language restricted participants from making improvements to an existing design after limited success in the March demonstration, thereby limiting their ability to demonstrate updated capabilities in September. By eliminating this sentence, the amendment allows parties to refine and resubmit the same design, promoting more flexibility and encouraging continued participation. The announcement clarifies that this demonstration is in addition to the previously scheduled 120mm mortar/105mm artillery demonstration and does not prevent involvement in either event. The contract is issued by the Department of Defense at the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, with the solicitation number W15QKN-09-Z-0308 and posted on December 11, 2008. The point of contact for the notice is Jeff S. Cheung, reachable by phone or email. No specific set-aside type or NAICS code is provided, and the place of performance details are not specified beyond the agency location. This amendment primarily serves to enhance opportunities for industry participants by allowing adjustments to existing designs between demonstration windows.
