AI Contract Overview
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Armament Directorate is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for the manufacture, assembly, testing, and delivery of the FMU-167/B Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) system. This effort, categorized under NAICS 332993, aims to determine market competitiveness and the feasibility of a small business set-aside. The required system must be capable of penetrating reinforced concrete or multiple soil layers and include void sensing, time delay, and backup timer functions selectable via cockpit mission planning systems. Key deliverables include the FMU-167 fuze, FZU-60/B bomb fuze initiator, JDAM adapter cabling, and M548 ammo cans for shipping and storage. Because the government does not possess the proprietary Technical Data Package from Northrop Grumman, potential contractors must demonstrate the ability to independently develop and qualify an equivalent system. Technical requirements include a minimum production capacity of 3,000 units per year, adherence to MIL-STD-1316 and MIL-STD-331 standards, and ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality certification. Interested parties must submit a capability statement by October 15, 2026, detailing their technical approach, production capacity, and supply chain management strategies. Small business prime contractors are expected to perform at least 50 percent of the manufacturing cost, excluding materials.
