M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM)

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey is preparing to issue a solicitation for the production of the M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) and related training equipment, including the 83mm Rocket & Launcher, Field Handling Trainers, and the XM808 Subcaliber Launcher Trainer. The M141 BDM is a man-portable, single-shot, disposable shoulder-launched munition designed to defeat earth and timber bunkers, light armor, and urban structures in close combat under all weather and visibility conditions. The contract envisions procurement in multiple quantity tiers ranging from hundreds to thousands for the BDM units and smaller quantities for the training kits. Manufacturing, inspection, testing, and delivery will follow a hybrid proprietary Technical Data Package jointly owned by the contractor and the U.S. Government. This requirement will be fulfilled through a sole source, firm fixed price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with Nammo Talley, Inc., located in Mesa, Arizona, under specific federal acquisition regulations that restrict competition due to the critical nature of these defense items and the necessity to maintain domestic production capabilities. Key components such as explosives, rocket motors, and fuzes must be sourced within the United States or Canada. The contractor must supply all materials, equipment, and labor to meet production specifications. The contract period includes three one-year ordering periods. This announcement is a presolicitation notice, not a request for proposals, with an anticipated solicitation release about two weeks following the notice date, and proposals expected within 30 days thereafter. The contracting specialists for this action are located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.
